How is that a weak argument?? I think that you've huffing paint fumes. Once that spray in cures -the paint is seale. No rust front hauling loads. I would take a dented bed with a spray-in bedliner before I would take a truck with a drop-in. You can see what you are getting. With a drop-in you must remove it and you probably would not want to see what's there.

+1. I currently have a plastic bead liner but will be getting Line-X in a few weeks. I couldn't agree more - the plastic ones are definitely tougher for hard things like rocks, dirt and concrete but they WILL rust out the metal bed eventually.

I've dented through a plastic bedliner before.
