I've seen good and bad reviews for Spray-on and Roll-on Box Liners.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Which brand is better?
Is Spray-on/Roll-on better than an Insert?
Price Difference?

Spray on is much better for things not sliding around in the box.

don't know about brands, but definetly go with the spray in, i hate my insert. things slide around, if water gets underneath your bed can start rotting mighty fast

oh ya, try and find a school autobody shop, they usually do it pretty cheap, and do a pretty good job. shoudln't cost more than $100.

$400 for Elephant Hide spray-on boxliner at a local Body Shop.

It's a Polyurathane.
They scuff up the paint in the box, epoxy prime any bare metal, spray the liner and leave it in the heated shop overnight for curing. They recommend nothing heavier than a bag of Apples for 1 week.

I'm gonna price out the Shutz gun and materials to see how cheap I can do it for myself.

I watched a video http://www.duplicolor.com/training/truckbed_training.html
And didn't like the way it turned out by rolling it on. Too glossy and lumpy.
Duplicolor is available at Canadian Tire and is a Vinyl Polymer.
I wonder which is tougher, Polyurethane or Polyvinyl.

I had Line-x put on my truck a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. I went with the over the rail option so it cost a bit more. About $620 but I feel its worth it to keep the box in good shape for years. You can check out my album here for some before/after pics.

Spray-on box liner is the way to go
My body did it and he is really happy
Spray-on may be next for me to do

I have seen the quality of the LineX on F150phule and am seriously considering the same for mine!

 

[fordtough.ca]

Me too
I wonder if they could install it with the TC on:scrch:

 

[Smokefan]

Mine comes off easy, but I would imagine a shop that has done alot knows how to remove and reinstall properly.

I hope so
Let me know if we could get a deal on it if we do it together?
And how long would take this?

 

[Smokefan]

I'll check, shouldn't be as much as F150phule because he had some extra areas sprayed that we do not require.

Thank you Smoke let me know when you get the info

Hey BP, This is the link to find a dealer near you.

Mine was quoted at $505 before tax, but I went with the over the rail option so that was another $40.

They did a great prep job and it only took about 2.5 hrs from the time I showed up till the time I left. If you check my pics in vbGarage you can see for yourself.

I got a spray on from ziebart about four years ago in my Ranger, and damn I have thrown some serious crap inthe back and it was probably the best investment I ever made for that truck.
