Two of my coworkers have it in their trucks. It looks just about like any other spray in bedliner. There were a couple of things that I did not like. First, I noticed that the business that did it stuck a tacky Speedliner logo into the stuff when they were done. Second, the place that did it wouldn't do over-the-rail installation-probably just that business, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the Speedliner material.

My truck came with a spray in but I don't know what brand it is. I'm assuming it is a Rhino. It is faded, but I think it looks more durable than the Speedliner and it is over-the-rail. However, if you are just looking to cover something up before the lease runs out, that would work. I don't think it is much cheaper than any other spray ins-never priced them though. I think my coworkers paid about $450.00.

when you tunr in a leased truck they ream you if the bed has any scratches that may effect resale value..... if it was used as a truck it has bed scratches... herculiner protects the scratches from rusting and increases resale value so they dont deduct for the scratches when you turn it in

Greetings,
I have a spray in liner and think its great. One of the Problems toyota trucks always had was the beds rusting. It was worse in 84-88 trucks but continued to be a problem. The plastic liners you place in the bed are in my opinion the worst thing you can do to the bed. Sure they protect it from scratching but they catch dirt leaves and moisture between the bed and the liner. Then they shake with grinds the dirt and junk into the bed scratching away at the paint. Then in the summer the water gets between the plastic liner and the metal bed. The black plastic liner then heats up from the sun and cooks the bed.
In my opinion this is the best place in the world to create rust in the dark dmap hot space between the plastic liner and the metal bed.
The spray in liners are not the answer to everything, but they help keep the bed from rusting.

I used the AmeraGuard Spray in Liner. They did a great job. It was over the rail and they have this special tape that after they spray, they pull a thin wire out of the masking tape which leaves a perfect over the rail edge. No advertisements on the liner and if it ever gets damaged, they repair it for free. It was 350.00 and took about 4 hrs.
