Its all in the prep if you half-a** it nothing will grip not even paint. Any rusty metal or bare steel would get epoxy primed and clean painted surfaces would be DA'd with 80 grit. Clean it spotless and shoot.

I wholeheartedly agree with the prep statement.

I am simply stating my experience with two trucks we have had that came with "Rhino" brand liner emblem in the bed. Both were a faded chalky gray and easily damaged. Having two other trucks with Line-X, the finish hasn't faded, although it has lost some of it's original "shine", and seems much tougher. I will say that due to the softer, more rubbery composition of the Rhino, it was much better at gripping smooth objects such as toolboxes in the bed.

From all the stories I have heard in addition to mine, Line-X is the way to go for a bed that will be used and open to the elements, while a Rhino would be more suited for a truck with a camper top or tonneau cover as it will not be as affected by UV rays and you will benefit from the grippy rubbery surface.
