Exposing Spray Coating Scams

Exposing issues with the Spray Bedliner Industry

I am Bill Dalburo, a marketing director at Spray-Lining, the manufacturer & main vendor to many spray-on lining dealerships; several of which were or still are considered Rhino Linings Dealers, a few are known as Line-X also with more jumping ship from other vendors such as Scorpion Coatings, Speedliner & Ultimate Linings. There are many more spray-on lining brand names albeit less known that find Spray-Lining a better deal. In any case we do find minimal faults with competing vendors. They usually distribute quality formulas with complaints emanating from small to midsize buyers requiring better support & lower-cost solutions.
