They did a good job, just like every other liner I've had sprayed on my trucks(Line-x and Rhino) for the past 20 years or so.
Since I don't have any plans to drop cinder blocks in my bed from 10 feet up( I just have a habit of chucking 100lbs rifle cases in it), it will last, just like all the other times.This time around however, I also have a rubber mat and a plastic gate protector installed over the top of it because since I knew it was gonna be a little while before I had the time to give up my truck for half a day to have it done, I bought the mat and gate shield to tide me over)
Since I installed a solid cover afterwards, chances are that it won't fade in its lifetime, and as long as I don't spill any harsh chems on it, it won't stain-just like all the others.

how thick was it applied? any shots showing it?

You really can't tell how thick it is by looking at it, even looking at the edge really doesn't work well. To get an accurate measurement, you need an electronic gauge which most bedliner dealers have. So, before you leave the bedliner dealer with your truck, tell them you want to see the thickness per the gauge. The gauge's measurement will probably be in mils (thousandths of an inch). 125 mils is 1/8". So, you should see about 125 mils on the floor and around 80-90 mils on the sides and tailgate.

i can by looking at my line-x. i'm not saying i can count the thickness in mm with my naked eye but i can definitely see how thick it was applied anywhere there is an edge.

You're making an assumption that the thickness at the edge is the same thickness throughout the bedliner. That can be a very incorrect assumption.

true it can be, and then again it could be consistent. i'll wait for the OP to respond to my question.

I have no idea man.
I only took one pic, and I put my mat and gate protector on before I did
