I have went thrugh the " Search" and read all the posts on the subject so this is a new question for the people who have used Rhino lining or one of the other manifactures including the roll it on your self stuff.

Question is how is it holding up? Would you coat a tear in it again?
If you were to coat it again would there be somthing you would of done different like prep, or somthing you wouldent coat with it.

I am really tossing around having it done to the one I am building..

I do know weight is a factor but it dosent mater to me. I am looking at this for durability and for reasons of no maintance..

I'v sprayed bed liner for 12 years and have seen it hold up very well.

What you need to think about is UV fading. Bedliner material will discolor and breakdown over many years in the sun. I plan on spraying my new TTT I'm building with white material and top coating it with a UV stable finish coat...

I've been using Durabak roll-on polyurethane for a while.

Over stable wood it holds up very good. I've had good luck over both sealed and unsealed plywood. Yes I will continue to use it.

For maintenance I apply 303 every now and then to keep it shiny and to provide extra UV protection.

With it's textured finish, it has the added advantage of covering surface imperfections.

I had Rhino lining in my last truck and after 6 years it still looked new. My new truck already had a liner in it, but after 2 years it is cracking. In the spring I'm going to pull it out and have the bed sprayed. I would think the stuff would hold up ok in a tear.

I have Duraback on my tear and I am very happy with it. No problems after two years and mine is out side all year. :thumbsup: Yes I would do it again!

My woody teardrop had it's bottom coated with Line-X over 6 years ago. It is still in the same condition as when applied. One drawback, it added unwanted weight to an otherwise lightweight trailer, the tongue box and the wooden fenders. However, after backing it down a boat ramp and taking a side-view picture with the wheels in the water, I have convinced the less-aware, that it has passed the "float test".
