Line-X
Has anyone had any problems w/ their Line-X bed liner fading from the sun??
My bed has faded to a dull gray from the wet sparkly black look where the sun has hit the bed. I had the bed sprayed only 3 1/2 months ago and 1/2 of the time the truck has been covered. is this normal?

Re: Line-X
Mine was done over 5 years ago and still looks like new. I would say they did something wrong.

Re: Line-X
Line-x in mine faded to a dark grey color, but has held up great. I had Rhino liner put in my jeep and they gave me a bottle of cleaner/color restorer to address the fading issue.
If it's going in a truck bed I'd stick with Line-x for durability reasons 100% |

Re: Line-X
I haven't had a chance to really put anything in the bed except my mountain bike. I'll try to post a picture. You can see a destinct line where the fade is.

Re: Line-X
I agree,you seem to have a valid complaint.I had it in the upper and inside surfaces of a ladder rack for over 3 years and still looked new.And,that was with constant loading,hauling,and unloading of ladders,aluminum walkboards,and pump-jack poles.
