Another bedliner question

[Scubasigguy]

I didn't want to hijack the other thread just started.

I just picked up my new Raptor Friday morning and I need to get a spray in liner, tint, and install my Retrax cover in the next few days. I have used Rhino lining on all of my other trucks, but I am thinking about trying something new. I hear lots of good things about Line-X, so I am curious to hear what you have you have to say. If you have another brand, please chime in with the pros and cons as well.

I also see that many Raptor owners have the rear wheel wells sprayed. What are the pros and cons with this application, and what does it normally cost just for that option? The one dealer I have called so far has never sprayed the ww's, and is working on a price, so I want to make sure that his number is fair.

Any recommendations for a good shop in DFW?

Thanks!

Go with the Line-x. I had that in my last truck that I had for 7 years. It held up very well. I abused that truck and hauled all sorts of stuff in the bed. I even has a custom smoker made that the guy had to use a lift to drop the smoker in the bed. The line-x never chipped or cracked in all of those years. The only thing was it had faded a little but I never used any sort of bed cover.
When I picked up my raptor I had them do the line-x premium and it looks great. The premium is supposed to have a uv blocker to help with the fading.

ScubaSigGuy,
My brother picked up a Dodge 2500 V10 in 1995 while I was living in Detroit. I picked up the truck and took it to Ziebart and had it rustproofed and their spray in bed liner done. Within a year is showed slight chalking but is still holding up almost 20 years later. This was before the UV inhibitors now common were used. I have had Speed liner applied to my 2004.5 Dodge Cummins and 98.5 Dodge Cummins and they still look as good as new.
If the place you take your truck to does the proper prep, most of the survivor bedliner companies will do well....
Good luck,
Eddie

+1 on using line-X premium for UV protection. It will cost you for around $200 more than the standard line-x.

I actually had Line-X premium sprayed on yesterday.
