Is Linex or Rhino Linings a disaster?

#1 Post by Dazombiewoof »

Probably expensive and violates DIY sensibility, but I have seen cabs sprayed with Linex and Rhino Linings materials that looked very nice. I did not find them mentioned in search. Is there a reason like they do bad things to performance? If one had money to burn, they do colors to match one's truck.

Oh joy!! A monster rig in hot pink!!!!

Mark Coward has used Line X and really liked it (if I recall correctly). I believe cost and the hassle of having to take it to a dealer to get it done have been the main reasons it's not been a preferred coating around here. If I had money to burn and time to drive 60 miles to the nearest dealer, I'd go for it. But I have neither of those... :(

I'm a Line-X user and unless you have used the product you have no idea how durable it is. Its in a whole different class then ANY roll on covering. Yes, it is $$$ to do it but you WILL have cabs that will last a lifetime when your done. My T48's cost me $200 each to do.

I've got several Linex places close and they are advertising in such a way to indicate they will spray whatever. Obviously a "Show me the money!" deal, but I've had cabs sprayed with their stuff and it looks outstanding. It does I guess take away some from the cost point, but then you will have if you did it right a product worthy of such a coat.

IMNSHO, Line-X does NOT suck:

Of course, YMMV.

This is without the UV protection spray, and it is a little sheenier than I thought it would be.

Still looks damn good though.
