Duplicolor Bed Armor with Kevlar

[raptor2012]

Has anybody used this product yet on their raptor. Trying to save money by not doing line x but want it to look good

You get what you pay for! I am not famaliar with this product specifically, but I have seen a lot of the do it yourself bedliners, and they are not very good. I usually saw them when someone brought it to the Line-X dealer I worked for and they wanted it fixed. Then your looking at even more money, cuz they are going to need to get this stuff out before they spray in Line-X. If you do decide to go this route, the key is going to be a good prep and plenty of coats if you even have a chance of getting a finish you are happy with.

Great response cage, I think the thing to remember here rap, is that if you don't get the results you want, then it will be a lot harder and cost a lot more to get it Line-X'd.

Pretty sure Rhino costs a little less than Line-X, and it's held up like a champ for me.

If I was going to DIY instead of Line-X I would use U-POL Raptor liner.

I have used both Line-X and Rhino. Line-X is the superior product. Rhino is softer and sort of rubbery, and it can be ripped by sliding something heavy and rough across it (like concrete blocks or landscaping stones). Rhino also fades to grey.

I'm not sure what lining I have in my Raptor, but it seems like probably Rhino since I did have Rhino in my old F250 and it was really rubbery and came off easily if something scraped it. The lining that's in it was in it when I bought it and there was no tag identifying what it was. I have two or three spots in my bed right now where the lining has scratched through.

Don't skimp on your bed liner, you'll just be angry you did later.

If it's any DIY bedliner... it would have to be BedRug or BedTred. JMO

"I have two or three spots in my bed right now where the lining has scratched through."

most bedliner companies offer a patch kit, or you can use urethane. Windshield urethane is black and can easily be used to patch, it runs $5 to $8 bucks for a tube (plus you need a caulk gun)

Yeah, I'll get around to it eventually. I live in AZ so rust isn't a big deal, and I don't use the bed of the truck that often anyhow. I'm thinking I'll just get it done with LineX sometime in the future.
