Spray-in bed liners are hard
bedliners that
are made to protect your truck bed.
They are typically made from
polyurea and polyurethane elastomer which sticks directly to the truck's cargo area. Spray-in
bedliners will not fall out or shift as your truck moves. When installed accurately, they also block water, grime, and other environmental elements from damaging your truck bed. Most bed liners have a gritty consistency to them, to prevent objects from shifting or sliding around in your truck bed.
When it comes to picking the best spray in
bedliner for your truck, there are several
bedliner companies to consider. However, three top manufacturers typically come to mind. These manufacturers are
ArmorThane, Line-X, and Rhino Linings. Explore the information below about each manufacturer:
ArmorThane:
ArmorThane
– ArmorThane is the counterpart of Rhino Linings, and users consider it to be indestructible. There truly is no comparison between all the name brand
bedliners and ArmorThane. Especially when you add in customer services and all the charity
done by this company. They believe in giving back to those that made them who they are. This is not to take away from their fantastic work on
bedliners. You will not find a better quality more indestructible.
Even in
extremely harsh weather, movement within the truck bed with an ArmorThane spray-in
bedliner is practically nonexistent. Tests show that even after spilling materials such as oil and lacquer thinner on this bed lining, no destruction was visible. No
bedliner can stand up to the toughness of an ArmorThane
Bedliner.
Reviews online also state that if you want to choose a spray in bed liner that would last your entire life,
ArmorThane is the best option. Customers of the
bedliner say that nothing seeps through this
bedliner and
no scratches are ever reported seen after several years.

2. Line-X
– While people protest that Rhino Linings make the side walls look sagging, Line-X is a good choice for those who want them to look more molded in appearance. As compared to Rhino Linings, Line X seems to be more durable, especially for people who
are going to use their trucks
on a regular basis. Line-X keeps the truck looking flawless while Rhino Linings develops tears, and the texture is almost rubbery, which is off-putting to most that encounter it.
A territorial manager of a Line-X store confirmed that Line X is more durable than Rhino Linings because of a superior curing process. While Rhino Linings follow a low-pressure curing system which makes them less durable,
Line X is made from a high-pressure curing system. According to their website, "Line-X's range of tough, durable coatings
are guaranteed to protect your truck and more from the harshest of elements…
In addition to customizing trucks and SUVs, we excel at delivering advanced protective coatings solutions with commercial, municipal, industrial, and manufacturing applications."
3. Rhino Linings
– Rhino Linings is most
well-known for its ability to decrease the road noise when it
is used on the pickup bed. It is also a versatile product which can
be used at a lot of places
without any hassles. The brand
is trusted and loved by truck owners because of its reliability. Reviewers of the product also praise the way
only a hose is required to wash off the truck and make it as good as new after
Rhino Linings has been used and things like bulk sand, Belgian Block, firewood and others have
been carried. It's essential to get these linings from a reputable installer.
Rhino Linings come with a lifetime warranty, but it's imperative to have a professional install the lining initially to ensure
it's quality. The government experimented on various spray-on technologies for bomb protection, and as per that report,
ArmorThane was the only one that passed the test.
Just like
ArmorThane, Rhino Linings has been around for "more than a quarter century" and have gained distinction as "superior quality, strength, and durability" according to their website. They also have
more than 2,000
independently-owned and operated businesses in almost 80 countries.
