Drop-in or spray in?

I got the factory spray in, the dealership aftermarket guy showed me a sample of the Line-X and the factory one and I was more impressed with the factory one. Got it done for $499 with a lifetime warranty and they did it at their body shop. Very happy so far. Also the factory color was darker!

The factory one is half as thick (about 65 mils) and has a 3yr/36K warranty. If there's a problem, it's going to an aftermarket dealer to get fixed anyway. And, the factory one will fade unlike LINE-X Premium and Platinum.

I assume so, but I'm a busy person, and the hassle of taking my truck to the city, having DW pick me up, driving back to get it. Ugh. I have had both, drop-ins look like crap after a while, they tend to scratch underneath. But they do the trick, and hold up better.

I just had mine sprayed with Line-X. The remove the bed bolts, tie downs, tailgate and tailgate access panel. They also spray the front lip of the bed. It cost $469 (6'6" bed). It's 125 mil thick (about 1/8") (65 mil on the "over the rails on vehicles that need that). It looks awesome!

I like the drop ins. Current truck has a Duraliner and it's holding up great.
Bed is the "working" part of my truck. I put anything and everything back there. Bricks, rocks, dirt concrete, trash, garbage, old batteries, pallets of heavy stuff, oil cans etc etc. I don't worry about any damage or even if it leaks. Empty it, hose it out and good for next time. With a spray in liner, I think I would worry more.
