rhino lining questions

**kwconch021** · 05-09-2009, 03:39 PM

now i know that all the newer non plastic liners like line x and rhino and such are sprayed on.. but has anybody ever heard of them being rolled on?? i was with my buddy when he was getting a tat and a guy came in thats a local mechanic and he does the actual rhino liners but he told me they roll it on.. he said they roll on the glue then roll on the rhino. im wondering about the thickness [these liners i know should be around a half inch thick] and the quality even though he promised it lifetime no peeling or anything. i live in the florida keys which would be similar to living out in the boonies bc we have to drive to miami for pretty much anything.. its also cheaper in miami but if this is a good price then i wont go to miami bc its 5 min from my house.. any input is appreciated

I dont think they go a half inch thick, but I know you can pick how thick you want it, my dad has done it on two trucks, one is an 01 Z71 and never a problem. And we get just as much heat and humidity as florida and add the -40 to -60 degree winters as well. I know the local guy here sprays everything

I never head of either of those rolled on. I have the Line-X and it is about 1/8" thick.

theres another shop in marathon about 45 min away that sprays it on for $500 which is about the same price im hearing everywhere.. and they specifically deal with trucks.. i mean i dont know this guy and his shop.. id rather deal with ppl that know what theyre doing and hey, if i gotta spend a few more dollars for it to be done the right way then so be it.

I paid $550 but got the top of the bed rails sprayed also. I like the Line-x better than the rhino. Line-x is a lot stronger and hard as a rock.

i just want to get mine sprayed so i have something else than bare metal.. my dad gave me my truck as a grad gift and he used it before for some work so its a babre metal bed with scratches and stains so i want a cleaner look to it but im also going to put a soft tonno roll up cover on after the spray on

i mean i could just have it sanded down and repainted and then throw the cover on but im young and so is my truck so ill probably use it for some hauling or moving etc so i dont wanna tear up my bed.. i also know the spray ons last longer than time lol.. so re paint or spray on???

I have two trucks sprayed with Rhino, the bottom of the beds are 1/4 thick and the sides are 1/8. both are sprayed over the rail. however i didn't like the overrail look so I put bed caps on them looks much nicer. I worked at a Rhino shop for a while it is a good product, now they haver another line that is similar to lineX hard. hope this helps

Yea never heard of it being glued in and rolled on. I would stay away from that. I had mine done by a place here in LA thats called Extreme Liners, it's a cross between the Rhino and the Line-X. I had the Rhino in an old truck and it would get pretty chewed up using my truck as a truck. The only rolled on liner I ever heard of is that stuff thats a little tuffer than paint but it fades out and wears off just like paint. Hope this helps.

The roll on is in-expensive, and does function well. I used it to coat the exterior of my 90 S10 Blazer and i would beat it against rocks and tree's and the occasional non-believer with keys. It's a good way to go if you have the time and patience.

this shop 45 minutes from quoted me $500 w/o the rail upgrade, i have bed caps so no need for that. i think it looks a little cleaner and flush with the plastic bed caps. some of you guys are tellin me u paid 550 so i think ill suck it up and go for a ride. thx for all your help everybody
