linux bed liner

I went with my brother this spring when he had the Line-X sprayed in his Dakota. The guys were nice, let us take the shop truck (a 2002 Ram 4.7L) to the local mall and do a little shopping while they worked. We spent 2 hours at the mall, went back and it took the guy another 2 hours, with us waiting there, to finish, he was just trying to get the tailgate to close and latch on one push. Needless to say, the guy STILL did a nice job, and he did an add-on for nothing (Dodge ram's head logo sprayed on top of the rough coat with a smooth coat) for nothing. The smooth coat still holds stuff, it's a really cool addition.

I have a Line-X in my truck, but it was put in by the previous owner...

I was thinking of getting a Line-x sprayed in my 03 Silverado. How does it hold up in the weather/UV resistant? I got a sample of a Rhino lining and put it out in the sun for a month and it started fading and the top clear coating started peeling off. You could bend it backwards and notice it started cracking also. I was just wonder how a Line-X holds up.

A Linux bed liner? Do they line the bed with old, unused computer parts, or just RedHat install CD's? ;-)

I was just curious about something, can they do two colors in a spray in bed liner, let say black and red, the chevy symbol in the red on the floor of the bed and the wall along the back of the cab in the bed. carl Italy

No way would they use Red Hat (your point is why I decided to read this thread) that isn't heavy duty. They used the pure source code from SlackWare!!!

I just have to check on pricing at a shop or two before getting my 2500HD long box sprayed. Linex just beats the daylights out of every other liner I've seen in trucks. I know a guy who has had Linex in two or three trucks and they've all looked great. The others look old and beat over time with chunks out of them, etc. I have access to a fleet of trucks that have another brand liner and they look horrible. These trucks are commercial trucks and the liners just aren't able to take it. I've yet to see a Linex liner that has holes in it.

But isn't RH more abundant ie - more releases, more advertising? :-)

Wouldn't Free BSD be cheaper? :) Mike

Greetings,

Based partly on what I've read in this group concerning Line-X spray in bed liners, I decided to have the bed of my new Chevy 2500 Crew Cab done. I have been comparing both Line-X and Rhino, and although the prices were within only a few dollars of each other, what really convinced me was looking at a Rhino liner in a friend's truck that was only a year old. It looked terrible, like worn asphalt. It was patchy, uneven, and obviously thin in spots - all of which may have been because of the installer, but it was enough to convince me to go with Line-X.

I had mine installed at Truck FX in Orlando, FL and they did a beautiful job. The texture and appearance of the Line-X product was superb, and the attention to detail was excellent. They even sprayed down the back of the bed behind the bumper. The texture of the Line-X is very coarse but evenly applied. The texture of the Rhino lining I saw was lightly coarse in some places, smoother in others which gave it an uneven appearance.

Thanks for helping make what I think is the right choice for me.

Cheers - Jonathan
