comparing it to the spray in bed-liner jobs. Two things came to mind
regarding the spray-ins, one being price (I didn't have the extra $500
bones at the time), I got the bed-liner for just over $200. (All prices
Cdn$). Second being numerous reports of shoddy work by some of the spray
in people, namely over spray and poly-urethane coatings all over the back
and top of the cab. The spray in people offer to polish them out, but at
the cost of a layer of paint. Everyone I've talked to has had overspray on
their trucks as a result of spray in bedliners. The other knock on
bed-liners is the scratching they do (Mine is form-fitted, so it doesn't
really move) and getting water trapped underneath and settling. I expect
to remove mine every 6 months to wash, dry and wax the box just to keep it
protected. I've also oiled the box to prevent water from being trapped
underneath. Since I've saved $300 bones, I can't complain about the
results so far.

I went the after market (duraliner) bed liner route. I also installed the
optional closed cell foam pad which sits under the liner and is supposed to
protect the paint. I had a spray in liner in my 7/8 clubcab and the
plastic edges of dog crates and the plywood on the floor wore right through
the spray in liner in a very short time.
