Which bedliner?

[Rzrman328]

I found a local place that will line-x my bed for around $350. Which isn't a bad deal. I just don't use my bed a whole lot so I can't justify spending that much if I don't have too.

I'd like to do it myself cause I just like doin **** myself.

Which would you choose:

Monstaliner or Herculiner?

Line-X.

$350 is a great price for Line-X. Your nuts if you don't get it done for that price.

I paid $450 five years ago for my truck. $350 is a pretty good price. The DIY kits aren't nearly as nice and will look pretty poor.

That being said, if I was going to buy a DIY kit, the Herculiner has been around for quite some time. I've never heard of the other brand. I would sway towards something with some history.

I did my own bed coating a few years ago on my old Dakota, for $350 let them do it. Money well spent!

$350??? Do It!!!

But back to your question, I'd recommend Duplicolor, Herculiner or Rust Oleum. They make good quality stuff.

I used a Herculiner roll on bedlinder kit about 4 years ago on a friends pickup bed utility trailer and he uses the hell out of it. It still looks good with a wash now and then. Nothing special needed.

I'm gonna do my Bedliner myself and I'm gonna use monstaliner. It's smooth and uv protected .

350???!!!!! omfg take that deal!! I was quoted over 550 out the door for their basic stuff. The DIY roll on stuff sucks, and will not come close to the durability of line-X. It will fade, peel, and come off over time. There is a a lot of prep involved too, it would take you a whole weekend to do it right. When you get a professional install you get a warranty, and Line-X is the best stuff you can get hands down. Honestly if they told me 350 for Line-X I would of requested it in writing as that is an incredible price!

also.. so you know, a spray in bedliner increases the value of your truck, you will get that 350 back when you sell it.


PS: you're nuts if you choose to DIY.. In comparison, my drop in Rugged Liner on my old truck was just over 200 bucks..

Yea defiantly take 350 for line x. Paid 500 for mine almost a year ago and that was with some sweet ****** to the bald guy behind the counter.

 

[Graygoose]

BedRug

yup

It's an investment that increases the resale value of the truck. For $350, DO IT!

 

[loveracing1988]

For $350 I would do line-x, but between the two diy kits you listed monstaliner hands down. It is really big in the jeep community, it is also the only one that offers a 5 year warranty.

 

[Dubstep Shep]

That's a steal, and it comes with a LIFETIME warranty. Do it.

 

[iceyivy]

Linex it up for that price! I still have the quote from linex for $550. $350 is a steal

 

[Rzrman328]

Lol sounds like the Jury has spoken ....line-x it is.

I only considered the diy route because my buddy did his lightning with Herculiner and it came out pretty well.

 

[Das Boot]

Definitely Line-X.....I had a 78 El Camino (maybe that was my first problem), but it had a DIY liner new when I got it in high school and after about two years it started to peel and fade into a gray / white color. Then I got a new truck with a Line-X liner in it and when I sold the truck 10 years later, it still looked brand new

 

[cyclepuck]

A friend of mine just got the bullet liner for $450 and it looks really nice. Not as clumpy looking as some other spray liners.

Rzrman328 in your original question it is Monsta Liner no doubt about it. I have used both, and herculiner is more like paint. Monsta is pretty close to LineX. I say Monsta is an 8 and LineX is a ten, Herculiner would be a 4 outta ten. Herc will look good when done, but will chip and peel super easy.

However, LineX is da chit, it is what I have in my last 3 trucks and will be the only bedliner I put in the truck bed. next week I am monsta lining my tubes and bumper, but for the bed only use LineX due to it's strength. Scratch your bed to hell before taking it in, will stick better.

 

[Rzrman328]

I was originally wrong about the $350 price when I first posted....I went back thru the email and they quoted me $325. So I'm definitely gonna have to jump on it.

I was leaning towards the monstaliner out of those two. Maybe I'll get crafty and find something to monsta-line.
