Line-X and Rhino lining are both great products. I haven't used Rhino lining in many years. I did some research and more people seemed to prefer Line-X.

I had my grill done with Line-X Extra. The extra is a UV coating. I would recommend this especially since you are doing your grill. I paid $160 to have it done and it has been well worth it. At a year old, it looks the same as the day I had it done. It is very easy to clean.

The "classic" Rhino Liner that most folks think of is softer and more "rubbery" to the touch. Helps with keeping items in place in the bed of a truck. Line-X is harder and rougher but thus protects a bit more.

That said Rhino Liner has a variant that is harder and UV resistant. They can also add UV resistance to the traditional softer variant.

Call around and get the best price, making sure the Rhino Liner dealer knows you want the tougher coating. I think it's product name is Tough something actually.

No. It's just paint with grit in it. Nowhere near as durable.

Hey, don't know much about Rhino or Line-X but was wondering what rims you have and what size they are and what tires you have on them? They look awesome and I have a flame red on order that will be here in about 3 more weeks and I'm looking for black rims to put on them.
Thanks.

Definitely go ahead with Line-X. The bed of my truck is done with it, durable, cheap cost, looks great! No regrets
