Looking at doing a heavy rubber floor mat vs spray in rhino coating. From people who have used both which do you prefer?

I prefer a coating 100% of the time. It protects the paint and does not chafe the paint away.

I have had the spray in liner in my last two trucks and I couldn't be happier. No issues at all with either and both were from a different company. I have seen many trucks with the bed mats and what I have seen in some is that they trap water and dirt and can lead to early rusting. You get what you pay for when it comes to things like this.

I am a sheet metal worker so I am hauling sheet metal all the time in my truck. I have had both Linex and Rhino liner in different trucks. I believe byfar the Linex is 10 times stronger then Rhino. I had to go back to Rhino 3 different times because the liner was coming apart. I felt their service was lacking in repairing it so I took it to a different store to look at it. They said it was installed correctly but the fact that I haul sheet metal in the bed it could not stand up to my abuse. I have had Linex in my truck now for 2 1/2 years and I do not have one tear in it. I paid $75 more for Linex but it is well worth it. Do some indepth research on how they both are installed and I think you would be happier with Linex.

I have had rhino coating on my truck bed since I bought it in '05 and the thing looks brand new. The stuff is awesome---nuff said!--Jobu

rhino all the way!!! end of story.....i have seen them sprayed on trucks until the truck rusted out around it....that rhino lining was the only thing holding the bed together.

mine looks like the day i got it in 2007......i scrub it once a year and boy does it do the job.
