Hey,

Has anyone every heard of "Zoltran or Zoltan" spray in liners? A new dealer
has opened up in our area and they are about $75 buks cheaper than Rhino!!

Thanks,

 I got that it's paint saver, or save your paint
well what ever, I saw it on the defunked truckin usa
tracked down the co in CA
and bought it though a local cap dealer in NJ Suburban cap in Ramsey
I have not checked all the way under the bed in my 96( seems to be
working) but I would caution you that the liner does not fit as well(too
tight)
if your liner is snug it rubs in other placesse from the bed
liner notes: my 96 dura liner was perfect until I wanted to put that
board across the front to hold up 4x8s
they put a support( holds it under the rail there) in the way so you
can't put it across(unlike the dodge one I could not wait for)
we had that spray stuff done on a chevy at our shop and it is way too
cool for words
it is worth the price (more like 3 times( 225 liner vs 700 spray)) plus
they mix colors to match(extra)

***
since then I'm even more inclined to go with the spray on
it seems the price has dropped since I looked in to it in 96
I do have the paint saver under the liner but it still rattles and it
does not go every where the liner goes so there are places that are
rubbing though
and I really think that you may not see the dents with the spray on stuff
like some people make it out be
How often do you really drop things in the bed like a ton of bricks? Not
often.
If i thought I could get rid of my liner(96/6.5 ft bed-duroliner) I would
in a heart beat, and get the spray done that day
for some that really use the truck for work I might say liner because
looks are not #1
but for more of us that look at a empty bed and don't want to see a eye
sore, spray is the way
