The last three trucks I had for the business had Line X and RINO liners. If you are going to abuse them, such as I did with buckets, augers and trailer hitches (Class V) then NO, do not get spray on liners. They do not hold up to abuse, and especially edged tools like above, drop a bucket in and it chips if on edge. Ding the edge of bed, chips; these are not covered under the warranty. Trust me; I am not complaining just giving my experience with them. I had the drop in plastic (07 RAM 1500, 4yrs), and yes there was some scoring from movement, but the ribbed plastic protected better for dings and fender dents, however my next truck will have LINE X. The average user will never have issues with either, I worked and abused mine hard and it shows. SO unless you plan to abuse the bed, then I would still with drop in plastic, for normal use I would go with RINO or LINE X.
I don't have a truck myself but many of my buddy's do and all have the Line-X spray, one of them does concrete and beats the pi$$ out of his bed and the Line-X holds up awesome.
We have had both Line X, and Rhino spray in liners on our fleet. I can't say enough good about them.
Line052....if they didn't stand up to edged tools, then whoever did the application cheaped out on material, as all our trucks have the stuff at least 1/4" on the floor of the bed.
Now of course.......my Nissan Titan comes with a spray in liner as a standard feature.....
LINE X of Ottawa, thru Ford Dealer and they all had at least a 1/4". I will take pictures and show you guys. My fault for the dings, some of loader buckets and augers are over 400lbs, sliding, dropping them in caused the chips. Twice I chipped the one in my F250 with class V hitch. Not a big problem to me(all my fault), just saying.
Funny. I've found with Rhino, that you don't get chips, unless its very cold out, as the Rhino material seems to stay more pliant. The Line X seems to be of a harder construction, and I've seen some chipping from impacts in our trucks as well ( nothing through to metal however).Quote:

I did this on My first pick up a Mazda B2000. The kit was primative probably to what's available now. At the time I think it probably ended up costing more then a cheap drop in. I also found that it didn't harden enough and got scuffed easy. I also had complaint of rub off from people who sat out back. This is a while ago so I don't know how they have changed.Quote:
