Re: Line-x vs Rhino-liner vs other alternatives
Don't expect the same finish with the roll-on stuff as you get with the
professionally applied spray on liners. I have Line-X in my pickup bed
and like it, the only thing is the texture tends to hold in dirt, so
expect that. It's not that it doesn't wash off, but it's there between
washes. It's very durable. Rhino Liner can be applied with a UV
protectant (extra cost) so it won't fade.

I have Line-X in the bed of my Superduty and I would not recommend it for the
tub of a Jeep. Its a great product but it has a somewhat abrasive surface with
a lot of "bite" to it, and in a passenger compartment you may not want the
stuff close to your skin unless you want to deeply exfoliate.
My TJ has a sprayed-in product called Reflex which is similar to Rhino, it's a
much more rubbery product. A local truck accessories shop sprayed it in and did
a good job.
I chose to have mine done as opposed to doing it myself just from a time
standpoint. There's a LOT of time involved in prep work, and even a mediocre
product will hold up as long as the surface was prepped right. The tech who did
my TJ said it took about 3 hours to prep and 20 minutes to apply, and I had
removed everything from the inside except the driver's seat.

Hmm. What does it feel like? Kinda like a thin rubber mat that's

Re: Line-x vs Rhino-liner vs other alternatives
Like twaldron says below it's not the same finish as Line-X or Rino... with
the thickness that I have, it's more like textured paint. If you applied it
thicker, I would say it would be more like rubber, but then you start to
approach the cost of the Line-X. Mine looks good, is very durable, and it's
easy to clean... I'm happy with it for the price. If price was no object,
and I had no rust, I would get the Line-X.
