Spray-Lining Line-X Review

LINE-X: The Only Option for Spray-on Truck Bed Liners?

It’s a tough economy out there, but you still have to haul things around in your truck and you want to protect your bed.  You know you’d rather have a spray-on liner than a drop in, but you don’t know if you can afford a big name brand, so what do you do?

LINE-X is a big name when it comes to spray on lining, but is it the only name?  One place to find out is a truck forum, where consumers post their experiences, recommendations, or advice.

On the Nissan Titan forum, an argument started when a truck owner touted the work of a Bullet Liner dealership in Southern California.  It didn’t really start a forum war, but neither was it a gentlemen’s discussion.  

In all fairness, most truck forum posters give LINE-X rave reviews. So could it be that they weren’t ready for an alternative way of looking at things? Trying to save a buck can make you see the world through a different pair of glasses!

On the Titan forum, it started innocently enough with a post made by LongTravel: “I came across this company called Bullet Liner, come to find out Bullet Liner was started by the same people who started Line-X and in looking at the finished product vs. price, Bullet has my vote! This stuff is awesome!�

Long Travel banters with other bloggers, but especially with a guy named Titangasm, who states that LINE-X has a better product, and yes, it’s more costly, but the extra money is worth it.  LINE-X gives the better protection, especially against fading.  

But LINE-X may not be something that is affordable to everyone.

 “I think Bullet will protect my truck just fine and when I'm in the market for a ‘sophisticated’ over priced bed liner, I'll be sure to call Line-X,� stated Long Travel.

It seems though that not every consumer believes that LINE-X is superior, or maybe it’s just the way the dealer applied the product, as shown in a YouTube video, called, “Crappy Line-X spray on bed liner Linex of Lincoln Nebraska.�  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KyYyMAKSno

On viewpoints.com, a consumer who goes by the name tdoc from Muskegon, MI, posts that he was so unhappy with his LINE-X spray on bedliner, that he switched to Dual Liner.  LINE-X peeled, faded, and ruined the resale value of his truck, according to tdoc.  To read his entire review, go to

However, Saul Vargas of Lowrider Magazine, gives LINE-X an enthusiastic thumbs up in a review in its Feb. 2009 edition. Vargas states that LINE-X makes your truck bed more weatherproof, water tight, and durable.  Not only that, it dampens noise, vibrations, and stops cargo from shifting.  To read the full review, go to:

When Jamey Wozniak’s truck was almost totaled, her truck bed needed to be replaced, and she wasn’t happy that her new bed would be spray lined with the same product that had originally been applied.  Five years ago, Wozniak bought Joe’s Hitch, Trailer, and Truck Accessories, of Dallas, Texas.  She recognized that the previous owner had developed a good relationship with LINE-X, and she continued to maintain that relationship.  She also decided to personally replace her previous bed liner with a LINE-X one.  

“I prefer LINE-X, which is why I continue to use them.  They always answer the phone, they always come here, it’s easy and they offer a good product,� said Wozniak.

Susan Gardner of LINE-X of Brevard, in Melbourne, Florida, says at one time, she and her husband Kerry (with whom she owns the business) averaged about 50 spray on truck bed liners a month.  They also spray LINE-X for a variety of clients, such as Harris Corp, and DRS.  “We also spray generator frames for some of the local municipalities.  We did three trailers that haul rocket engines for Pratt and Whitney, and we do mobile services, such as the floors at the K-9 kennels at Patrick Air Force Base.�

Gardner said that when she and her husband Kerry found out the previous owners were selling their LINE-X business, she and her husband jumped at the opportunity to buy it.  “We knew it was a great product and we were anxious to get involved,� added Susan Gardner.
