Kicking around the idea of doing it myself with one of those Home Depot kits but I know a professional job would be better.
Anyone here do it? Professionally, that is. Not the Home Depot kit.

Nobody?
LOTS AND LOTS OF VENTILATION.
I had a "friend" do some roll on bed liner in the yard. I think 1/2 the neighborhood got high off the fumes. Squirrels were falling off the fence, birds hitting the church windows and i had one hell of a headache.
Keep in mind we have approx 1/4 acre in town, not one of those metro area lots.
My good friend does them. cheaper than rhino-liner or line-x but not as cheap as do-it-yourself.
those kits typically chip and peel off pretty easy unless you do serious prep work. you need to get the bed down to pretty much bare metal or else it won't stick on very long.
I used to do spray on bed liner a long time back working at a car dealership. took a lot of prep work but usually turned out awesome. definitely worth the investment if you are going to be rough on the vehicle/tow a lot/drive of dirt roads a ton/etc....
I don't keep vehicles long enough to care about the bed but if you plan on hanging on to something long enough it is definitely worth it.

I'll be looking for a vendor to sell some Rhino Liner in the near future.
Huge bump!
Ray did you ever do your? Any recommendation for members or local shops?
Forget spray in liner, the Bedrug is the single best upgrade I put in my truck. It's awesome.

I cannot imagine that would go well with a yd of dirt
having slept more than once or twice in my truck, it does look kinda comfy
That's what I was thinking. Looks great and works great with gear, but you'd have to dump the vacuum 27 times to clean it after a trip to the gravel yard.Quote:

He is also dealing with a recent family issues and may be out for awhile.

Seems like a monopoly on bed liners. Everyone was within 50 bucks of each other and no deals to be had. Plus I like I can put stuff in my bed and it doesn't get scratched to shit from the spray on stuff.
Doesn't get much better than Line-X, that's what my truck wears.
we have 1/2 doz or so of those waterproof carpet runners [3x6] if anyone's looking ;)Quote:

Needless to say I didn't even get black done cause they pissed me off.

Sort of. I got rid of my old truck and the one I bought already has the spray in liner. [Coffee]Quote:

Had mine done there as well. Highly recommended.
They did the same on my Taco and did an awesome job. The paint in the bed was terrible but they do an awesome job with prep and spraying.Quote:

If you sat on the tailgate in light brown pants or ran your hand along the rail it would come away black. Even after you used their "conditioner". The Linex has been perfect for more than 6 years now. Looks new and I beat the crap out of it. And no residue.
