Truck liners perform the necessary
Truck liners perform the necessary function of stopping damage to pickup beds.
Really use a pickup truck and you must have some type of protection or you
suffer the consequences.Truck liners stop damage that is a normal result of just
using a truck for light hauling. Several options exist for truck protection.
Here are some of the options and how each best fits in certain circumstances.
From custom spray coatings to simple bed mats, each works best in certain
ways.Spray On Coatings For Permanent SolutionsThe premium bed costing solution
that comes to mind first may usually be a spray on bed liner. If premium means
expensive this choice will lead the list most of the time. But with a spray on
coating, you certainly get a custom, finished appearance and of course every
liner is a custom fit.These liners are after all a paint coating but the paint
has special characteristics. The material contains texture that gives it some
thickness and cushion as well as rugged good looks. What the coating gets you is
a two part paint that goes on with a spray gun and then dries almost instantly.
That is an advantage mostly to the applicator.
It means your truck only has to
be at the coating shop for a day or two and then is ready for normal use very
quickly.Prominent as an advantage is that life-time warranty. That's possible
partly because the coating is thick. It can be damaged but it takes serious
effort to scratch through the paint and make it to the bed itself. That's
because the coating may be as much as 5 gallons of volume and that's the reason
for the thickness.Then There's The Plastic Bed LinerPlastic drop in electric tractor bed
liners are all but impossible to damage. That makes for a liner that really is
suited for hard use. Certainly it is excellent protection for scratch
prevention. But it also makes for almost a perfect stop for dents too.
These tend
to be much less cost than spray coatings but every bit as tough and easy to
change as well if you need a fresh liner or just get tired of looking at the one
you have.Padded Carpet Bed LinersUnder truck bed caps or tonneau covers, carpet
liners work especially well. Need cushion for cargo? Carpet works perfectly. It
also stops sliding loads as well. Then again, if the way you use a truck
requires knees on the bed, carpet also makes for great knee protection at the
same time it saves cargo and the pickup bed.On the other hand, carpet is clearly
not the best option for hauling greasy, grimy loads or chemical loaded messes.
It cleans up well, but who needs a grease soaked carpet that may stay that way
for a long time?Cheap Roll OnGet a coating much like a spray on liner for a lot
less money by doing it yourself. Truck bed paint can really fix up the
appearance of an older damaged pickup. Not as durable as a professional coating,
a roll on bed liner may be plenty good enough for many uses. It's easy to put
on, but don't skip proper surface preparation or the liner may turn loose.Roll
on liners offer a coating that looks like spray on but cost far less.
Truck Bed
Mats?Here's a thought...Simple bed mats, whether carpet or rubber, protect just
about as well as any other option. But the cost is nearly nothing. Even over
expensive spray on liners, mats offer added protection that excels especially at
stopping dents tot the floor of a pickup bed.No matter what you want to spend,
bed liners can be just the answer to stopping damage to a pickup box or an
expensive liner as well. Truck liners let you use a truck for hauling and still
keep it looking as it should.
