If you own a pickup, then you most likely either have a bed liner or are considering installing
First, let's start with the pros of having a sprayed on bedliner:
- The biggest advantage is their excellent durability and resistance to scratches. You can drop just about anything on them without worrying about gouging or scratching the surface.
- Their non skid surface will prevent your cargo from moving around. This is a pretty big plus as well, since you don't want things such as gas cans or breakables moving around.
- You will experience less vibration in your bed with one of these, as compared to a more traditional hard plastic liner. The reasoning for this is the sprayed on version is adhered directly to the bed, making it essentially one piece. This leaves no room for flexing or moving of materials at all, even during extreme wind conditions.
- Moisture cannot get between the liner and pickup bed, causing rust and corrosion. This is a possibility with other bed liners, which can damage and rot your vehicle over time.
- This material will never crack or split due to inclement weather conditions. It can handle extreme cold and heat.
- Several colors are available, allowing you to match the bedliner with the color of your paint.
- And finally, there are no special sizing requirements to
worry about when ordering since it is sprayed directly onto the
bed.
- This type of liner can never be removed. While you may never need to replace it, should you sell your truck the liner will go with it.
- It needs to be installed by a professional, who has the correct equipment to do the job. Many shops provide this service for a fee.
- They tend to be more expensive than comparable heavy duty rubber or plastic bedliners.
