i have heard many success stories like yours, which makes me think i just got a bad batch or something to that effect, but with no response from the company, i can only assume the worst about their product. glad it has worked out for you!

it is possible, i put it on in tx too, i wouldnt dare apply it where i grew up in upstate ny unless i was in my dads heated garage...too humid up there.....i dont know, ive looked through all the posts you had on it, i think you just got a ****** batch, and if i was a betting man id guess you'd have better luck with some more coats on top of it...all my buds in the oil field have spray in liners that were done professionally and the standard is pretty much between a 1/4 and a 1/2 inch of liner...that roller and a day of work your only getting maybe..MAYBE close to a 1/16 of an inch, which really isnt anything to stand up to the sun, friction and impacts...and like i said the worst thing i find tearing mine up is the pressure washer, but i dont have a coice in that or else i'll watch my truck rust before my eyes..even my friends with the rino lining and other professionally installed **** has the pressure washer thinning them out on the wheel arches

ya mean that's not a rule ? my bad

not much left of my liner at this point, the bondo from the patch job i did on the wheel well is completely visible and some of the bare metal is starting to rust. it won't be long before i break out the belt sander and go to town on this junk, or i could just let the sun bake the rest of it off like it is already doing.

still looking for that tire rack, camino.

My father owns a body shop and We have put on many spray in bed liners and we have done the herkuliner one or twice and its terrible compared to rhino liner or line x. I was at the local fair a few years ago and they had a rhino liner and a line x liner sprayed on exactly the same on identical truck beds. You got to watch them spray it on prep it and everything. Then two days later I noticed that there was a line at that booth and the line x people were letting people go to town with screwdrivers and putty knives on the liners and wow there was a big difference. The line x was 1000 times better We use noting but line x and I have it on my truck and I live in upstate ny and i even sprayed it on the bottom of the rockers cab corners and such around the truck and it holds up real nice even in the winter!!

around here they are big on "Rhino-Liner" I have no clue what the prep is.
I went downtown to see some MMA fights last week and we parked next to a truck that was an 84' Chevy that looked new so I looked closer and seen "Rhino Liner" on the outside of his tailgate and said to myself why does he have it there? then I got about a foot away and noticed the entire truck was covered in a black/gray "Rhino Liner" and it was thick on there.

It looked really sweet and didn't have any peeling going on actually made me think of getting mine done like that
