GEN 2 Dealer installed spray in bed liner

[Deleted member 12951]

I think @Donmatteo's point was that it doesn't just come off without TRYING to take it off, as he's saying he's had a couple of them with no problems.

Yeah okay but I just said it peels off easily. I did not state if you try or not. Even if you TRY and peel off Line-X if installed properly, its going to be a LOT harder to get off than factory.

I have factory on my GEN1 and it does not peel off by itself, I get that. I was merely stating the pros and cons of each.

Line-X is always better than factory, without a doubt.

Exactly. I forgot FRF needs specific legal language when addressing anything Raptor related.

Original Quote was " Peels off easily"

Easily defined as follows

eas·i·ly
/ˈēz(ə)lē/
adverb
without difficulty or effort.

​

As the video shows, the technician used a pry bar with some force to remove the bed-liner.

People without upper body strength, chemical strippers (liquid, not pole), Moonshine or any other action would not simply allow said spay bed-liner to peel off.

Peel defined as follows

peel1
/pēl/
verb
remove the outer covering or skin from (a fruit, vegetable, or shrimp).

Normal wear and tear, or even nominal wear and tear did not allow said referred bed-liner to peel off.

Challenge accepted, it comes off clean and smooth, that means they don’t sand or use any adhesion for prep. Ask any Line-X dealer who routinely removes factory bed liners if you don’t believe me.

Do you have any videos using the Force to remove the coating?

He guys any of you with dealer installed spray in bed liners. My rig is about a month and a half old. I noticed a couple weeks back that my tail gate was not completely covered with the bed liner spray. There is a crucial transition point between the bed and the tailgate that has exposed paneling without any spray. So now whenever I load things I can’t simply slide it in, be yo don’t want to scratch up the exposed paneling. I have to lift items OVER the transition area, then slide it in. See photo:

WTF?! Is this standard practice? Are your Beds like this? I’m very unhappy with it. I would think that a properly sprayed bed would also include ALL the tail gate. Am I wrong?

You have the FACTORY sprayed bed liner. Looks just like mine, and mine arrived to the dealer from the factory with the bed liner already sprayed. You'll more than likely find a sticker on the rear window stating it is a Ford Accessory Bed liner.

And any one with pictures of a sprayed in rear wheel well? I would greatly appreciate it.

I have the rear wheel wells done in Line-X. Looks great on a white truck. I hate the look of white bed showing in the fender wells. I had the Husky liners and hated the look. Covers up the Fox shocks. Got rid of the plastic liners and had the fenders sprayed. It's been a year and I've had zero issues.

BTW-my tailgate is not painted fully. I slide crap in and out all the time. No scratches to the tailgate paint

I sprayed mine myself using the 3M Professional Grade Rubberized Undercoating. I prepped by cleaning all the dirt off, then sanding a bit using some 140grit sandpaper, then washing it again and using a cloth to dry it and make sure there was no grit leftover. It took one can of the spray per side. I got it from a local auto parts store for $12.50 each, so $25 total.

(Pardon the mess...it’s snowing here and there’s a bit of water/ice in the wheel wells now)

What’s fruit and vegetables or shrimp got to do with it?

Give it a rest. Line-X is better and factory is just okay. I have factory on both my GEN1 and GEN2. Like I will say again, if the truck didn’t come with it, I would rather have Line-X

Ski4Ever, very nice. You saved a ton of money doing it yourself.

I didn't say it wasn't. All I said was I disagreed with your characterization that it peels off easily based on my experiences.

You might want to reread, or read for that matter, what I actually said.

FWIW, I did line-x in my wheel wheels on my first raptor. I just haven't done it on my 2nd one.
