I work for a rhino liner dealer and let me just say this stuff if crazy, it can take one hell of a beating. It is an epoxy that is mixed at the tip of the gun with the activator. Rhino lining tends to be thicker and more pliable than line x which is generally a harder finish. Rhino liner offers more traction because of it being like rubber in texture. An entire vehicle can be done in Rhino and $550 is a very good price for spraying just the inside of a blazer, the amount of prep work an masking off is most of the work. We have done the inside of jeeps, box vans, oil pans, brush guards, step tubes, you name it we have Rhinoed it. Rhino can also be srayed on smooth with no texture. If you need your blazer Rhino lined or need any parts or accessories and are in massachusetts give my shop a ring 978-664-8555, its Richardsons Garage in North Reading, Mass.

if your gonna put the rhino lining on make shure its rhino lining or some other brand name stuff. i put some cheap roll on with about 3 coats and the other day i threw some t-posts in it and it started chipping. i also have heard it is better to
have it sprayed on than have it rolled on. another good brand is line-x

I have Rhino on my rockers and HATE it. It is the biggest pain to clean mud off. You have to scrub the fool out of it to get it clean. Mine is about 4 years old and faded grey. Worst of all it won't stand up to any rock rash at all. It would be ok up against road rash and limb scrapes i guess. After Moab last month and River Rock last weekend mine is getting scraped off in sheets. Been there done that and never going back!

rhino liner
After replacing floorpans, and doing some other rust prevention, I had the inside of my 72K5 rhino-lined from up under the footwells, all the way back to the tailgate. I was lucky enough to be able to stay with the truck for the whole process, which I believe helped alot for getting it spread thick where I wanted, and deciding exactly what edge to follow. The guys at the Rhino-lining shop were real cool, and way into spraying an older truck. The lining wound up almost 3/8th thick and is awesome! I have had the truck out in pouring rain (without the top) snow, mud, you name it! Then you get home and hose out the whole inside. This stuff rocks- and no rust ever again- buy it!

I've had two vehicles Rhino'd. I won't go with anyone else. I had my 89 Toyota X-tra Cab bed and the rockers Rhino'd. MUD doesn't stick to it at all. Clay is another issue. Clay will stick to a degree. How to fix? Easy, wipe it down with a little armor all (rockers only) before wheelin' and the clay falls right off. Lil trail prep... Oh, don't ever Armor-all your bed, unless you like to slip and fall on your arse alot!
As for rock crawling. Rhino has NEVER been advertised to stand up to goughing or scraping due to continued contact with ROCKS. Sharp rocks are going to dig it out and scrape it away. It's not impervious to it.
Overall, I say go Rhino! I've attached a couple of picks of my 83 being shot just a few weeks ago. It was one of the first mods I did. I paid $535.00 out the door for an 8 foot bed and it was well within price range. I'm happy. Oh, also, I've had bumpers, nerf bars and other items Rhino'd too. Gives your rig a tough stance, looks cool, and keeps the rust monsters away.

As you can see, the process is very labor intensive, but the final result is excellent! I love my rig rhino'd. If you decide to Rhino the vehicle, do as much prep work as you can. It will save you. I'm thinking of having the inside done, to help with the MUD cleanup. Hope this helped.

I go with line-X. I like that it is harder and not as rubbery as rhino. I do them weekly for customers who buy trucks from me. $435 for a long bed over the rails is what I pay. As oil prices go up so do the cost of spray in bedliners. I paid $325 for my long bed back in 2001.
every rhino liner I have seen does not have a consistent finish. It's a lot more lumpy then line-X. it may be the installers fault.
