I gad a reflex installed in a previous truck, and owned it for a little over 2 years before trading in. I loved the product! Was installed nice and thick, had a nice grip so things didn't slide, but was a "soft" texture (not gritty like others). The appearance was a little shiny, so it always looked like you just washed it and was still wet.

If they still have a nationwide warranty I would say to go for it. But, look online first and see just how many dealers there are. When I got mine I was living in a small, remote island town of Alaska, so it was the only option.

If others are peeling, etc., I would say it is due to improper prep work by the installer, and NOT from the material itself!

I'll help you out.

Reflex is a cold/low pressure spray. Same as Rhino, Armorthane, Ultimate Linings, and every other off brand out there.

To the OP. Go find a local dealer that sprays a quality hot/high pressure product. Ever notice that every single truck manufacturer that sprays liners at the factory uses hot? There's a reason for it.

I just got a new job at a Ford dealer, after i moved 1/2 way across the country. I mostly paint like i was doing before, but had to take on light body work, and now...bedliner's.

We use Armadillo i believe. Forgive me, I've only worked there a week so far, and took in allot of info! I may be mistaken.

But i do know that we used to use Reflex. And we switched to Armadillo, because "Reflex was crap." My managers words not mine.

I've done 2 so far and like the stuff. Very similar to line x. And we charge the same price no matter how large the bed is, $395. I know the machine does spray hot, but cools very quickly.

Here's one i did yesterday
