Line-X Franchise Review — 6 Comments

  1. My family is in the auto detail business. We handle big accounts of auto and truck dealers who want us to add bedliner spray on service. Most want Line-X but that exact equipment is available thru SLC or Graco. We understand the Line-X price & fee structure with requirement using only Line-X product. But Line-X rep won’t or can’t answer why we must pay up-charges to purchase other brands of equipment under Line-X.

        • Hi Paul,
          While Line-X is a good product, there are actually as good or better polyurea products available. Also, Line-X is primarily focused on the vehicle coatings. Sometimes, industrial grades which Line-X doesn’t cover are required.
          That said, the biggest advantage of Line-X is that they do better at ensuring the bedliner is applied properly. Rhino doesn’t do as good a job (also… their polyurea isn’t as good). A great product can be a mess if applied by a careless applicator. Better to have a slightly lower quality product applied properly.
          Our RLA cartridge product has better specs than Rhino, and basically equivalent to Line-X Standard. The rest is up to you as the applicator if you apply it yourself. Proper prep, following the directions, and getting some tips from us first will make for a job every bit as good as Line-X for a lot less money.

    • Scorpion is not a bad product, but has its drawbacks. If you are considering a DIY product, you will find that they market their coating as Al’s Liner. One consideration is that it is about 85% solids by volume. This means it shrinks as it dries, so you need more product for the same coverage as 100% solids products. This is true of most manual mix polyurethanes. Most of our coatings are 100% solids and do not shrink as they cure, so less is required for the same coverage. You can learn more about all the popular DIY coatings by browsing or downloading the Best Spray On Bedliners Comparison Guide for more information.
      Diamondback Linings (Spray Lining and Coatings) has also added a new product: Diamondback Linings Ultra Liner to our DIY spray bedliners which has even greater specs than our standard product line. If you want the closest performance to a true polyurea such as Line-X or Rhino without the need for expensive spray equipment.
      Of course.. We also offer the same high performance polyurea products with the least expensive spray equipment requirements available in our Rhino/Line-X Alternative cartridge products. Also, polyurea in pail sets or drum sets for proportioner application as well.
