Spray-in bedliners... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have called both of my local dealers, Rhino and the other (forgot their name). But anyway they seem expensive. I have also heard you can put one in yourself. What have you guys had success with. The DIY stuff? Or is it worth it just to spring for a pro to do it?

THe diy stuff suxs. pay the extra money it is well worth it. The DYI stuff will crack or come off. leaving bare spots. it is not the same chemical compound

Kinda what I figured. You get what you pay for.

I've used the Duplicolor and Herculiner DIY roll-on bedliners. The Duplicolor was complete crap...basically it was just thick paint. After just a couple weeks it started to flake off (and yes, I did prep the bed properly).

The Herculiner was much better. I had the truck for a year or so with the Herculiner and it was still holding up good. It did fade some though. Herculiner wasn't near as thick or durable as the spray-on stuff, but it was worth every bit of the $100 it costs.

http://www.durabak.com/ has a pretty good reputation among jeepers.

I've never used Durabak, but they definetly have a better color selection.

i had linex put in, it was the very first thing i did to my truck after i bought it. it costed me $500 for my regular sized bed, and tops of the rails would have been another $50, but because we have linex on our other truck, they did them for free.

take it from me, this stuff is the siht. it was well worth the money IMO.
