How much did it cost you to spray your bed?

$389 USD plus tax. Ford F250 short bed. Done December 2004 on current
truck

$289 USD plus tax. Same model truck. Done October 1999 on previous
truck.

Both done by the same Line-X dealer. I was a bit taken aback by the
percentage increase for the second job, but I was so pleased with the
five years spent with the first job that I never considered not doing it.
Both were done in the first week of ownership of each truck. Maybe
others will chime in here with their experiences, but I am way serious
about how good a product this stuff is. There are other brands beside
Line-X, but that's the one I have experience with, and I'm sold on it.
At least check into it, Don. You owe it to yourself and your new truck.

I understand the application process includes sanding of the paint in the
bed so the spray will stick.
Was that your experience? If so, I figure I'll use my truck and when the
bed gets really scratched and dinged up in a few years, then I'll have the
Line-X or similar put on.

If you are going to cover your bed with a soft or hard tonneau or other
shell of some kind I strongly reccomend the BedRug. I've had one in my truck
for about 4 years now and it is great at protecting the bed and protecting
the contents in the bed.
