If your picking a bed liner for your truck. Please be careful. Earlier this year we worked on a van that came in the a pre-existing liner from another company (we wont name any names). The van was not very old but had been used to transport salt on a regular basis. While the liner should have protected the body of the Van. The result was much different.

It turns that the liner pealed out very easily and the salt & water had been destrying the van body underneath the bed liner. If you held the bed liner material up to the light you could see that it was riddled by pinholes. These pinholes allowed the salt & to pass through to the surface below, which had the paint sanded for adhesion.

Upon Closer Inspection, we find that the liner on average, is not much thicker than a business card. This liner was applied with a paper thin base coat then was covered with a extremely agressive texture coat. The result, was a very rough feeling liner that, to look at, seemed very thick, but in reality, had no strength or other protection.
