Im in the process of fixing up my truck. I just need a few more parts and off to the body shop my truck will go for paint. After I paint my truck I want to spray the bed with a good liner. What brand do you guys recommend I use?? What brands should I stay away from?? If you guys could post some pictures that would be cool.

Based on all my Jeep buddy's experience and a few truck owner friends I plan to go with Rhino Liner.

Nothing beats a Rhino.

It depends what your bed looks like. I like the look of the Line-x liner on a new bed because it is not as thick and doesn't have the heavy texture. Since you are on this board, I am guessing that the bed has been used decently in the last 15 years, so I would suggest a Rhino liner. It is sprayed on a lot thicker, and has more texture. It hides a lot of bumps and dents that the Line-X would not.

Find local people (Rhino, Line-X, Inyati, Etc.) and compare for your personal preference.
Feel (rubber, hard, soft, etc.)
Colors available
Cost
Thickness
Chemical resistant
Warranty against cracks, breaks or chips
Warranty against color fade
Warranty again chemical damage

The major names are all quality and are very similar. Most offer lifetime warranty against damage. Most offer difference colors available. I also believe any of them could pull off the 3D effect for additional money, unless you did the molded yourself, prep and bonding would be the only issues. The differences between them are the feel, the color shades available (one red, maybe different then another red), the thickness (some types require more to be as strong, thats why some are thicker), the prices dont vary too much from what i have found. If you ask them whats required as far as prep work and do the prep work yourself you should be able to save a good chunk of change. Stay away for the do-it-yourself kits, they are nothing more then a textured paint, they dont hold up to abuse at all.

I dont know if Inyati is nationwide or not, but they do them here in Phoenix. I know 4-5 people who have them and they are nice. They seem to be right in the middle between Rhino and Line-X as far as texture and hardness.
