What is Your Opinion on Spray-in Bed Liners??

[Sugarmaker]

If you have some extra cash go with the Linex job, might cost $200 but you would never have to worry about the inside of the bed again! That green just doesn't feel right here

I have a lawn trailer that has seen many yards of dirt, rocks and mulch over the years. I would think that a spray in liner would get torn up from the repeated beatings of stuff getting dropped in and then scraped out. I would just put a rust barrier down and call it good (for the inside) and then put a good coat on the outside!

Well he didn't & after a couple of years (of NOT using it). He remembered what the dealer told him. Soooooooo he started to use it like it was intende to be used & does not worry about a few dings & bings.

Slop on some rust reformer paint were ya see rust & don't worry about it.
Nik,

I used Durabak before on my Ford pickup as a coating on the floor inside the cab. I also put it on the steps mounted to the frame but it started to come off. Maybe because the steps are aluminum? It's decent but not great. I wouldn't use it on something that saw a lot of stuff being put in and out...like a trailer. Line X is obviously good stuff, very durable but very $$$. I know I guy who's pickup was hit in the rear, bent the tailgate and the Line X never cracked.

I came across this stuff called Monstaliner from Magnet Paints. Magnet Paint also makes paint to go over rusted metal. My cousin who does collision work told me about Magnet Paints. I sent for info and they sent a free sample also. It looks to be killer stuff. I want to paint the floor of the cab in my 94 4Runner and I am going to go with that stuff. I think you can get it in color if you so desire. Link here: http://monstaliner.com/

I also know of another company that does spray in liners. If I find the info, I'll post it. Not a common name place though. Found it when I was researching online awhile back.

I will stand behind the Linex. This is the second truck I have had this put on and I don't baby them. Holds up real well! I have not seen a chip or mark on it. Not cheap.

Maybe a sheet of steel welded on top of the floor would be another rout. I would like dirt and like material to slide down and out and wonder if the liner would let this happen. Then I'am always using a shovel, hoe, rake, ect. in it. Paint it black.

Then moisture would get trapped between the two layers and rust it out.

Oh, I see. I'am sure the liner will do good too,and not a bad idea, though. I have a very cheep yard cart that is a complete flog child, letting me get the work done. Only a hundred bucks.
