Just maybe your statement that bedliners are for protection first and looks second is simply your opinion and doesn't necessarily reflect the opinions of all spray-in customers. Additionally, I'm glad I found out through you that if I got an Armadillo and it needed repair later down the road, that it wouldn't match. That's in stark contrast to my previous experience having a Line-X repaired.

I damaged the tailgate of my brand new truck. When I went to get an estimate, I was told I could have it repaired for $1300 or replaced for $1700. I decided to go with the new option and was assured that it would be the same, no difference. In other words, nobody would ever be able to tell that it had been replaced. This was clearly a mistake as you can see from the picture. Now they are telling me that it will fade with the sun and should match in the future.

I stopped by another dealership to ask if this would devalue the truck. I was told that the color difference wouldn’t devalue the truck, what would devalue the truck is everyone knowing that it had been in a wreck.

I’d appreciate some opinions here: A) Am I making too big of a deal about this or should I really be upset? B) Do you think this devalues my truck?

Thanks,


John
