Professional Installation Makes All the Difference
Even the highest-quality bedliner coating won’t deliver its promised benefits if applied incorrectly. Professional installation is crucial—an unskilled application can result in uneven coverage, poor adhesion, and premature failure. When properly installed by experienced professionals, a premium spray-in bedliner protects your truck’s paint from chipping, prevents scratches and dents, and guards against rust and corrosion. It’s an investment that pays dividends in long-term truck bed protection and preserved resale value.
Why Drop-In Liners Aren’t the Bargain They Seem
While drop-in plastic liners may appear to be a budget-friendly option, they often create more problems than they solve:
The Hidden Danger: Trapped Moisture Drop-in liners trap water and moisture between the liner and your truck bed—creating the perfect environment for rust and corrosion to develop undetected. This is especially problematic if your truck is parked outdoors regularly or exposed to rain, snow, or humidity.
Movement Causes Damage Once a drop-in liner becomes loose (and they almost always do), it shifts and rubs against your truck bed during normal driving. This constant friction wears through the factory paint on your bed floor, exposing bare metal to the elements and accelerating rust formation.
False Economy What seems like a money-saving choice upfront can lead to expensive rust repairs, paint restoration, or even truck bed replacement down the line. A professionally applied spray-in liner costs more initially but eliminates these risks entirely.
Spray-In Liner Drying Time: What to Expect
Ready for Light Use Immediately Your spray-in bedliner is cured to the touch and ready for light use as soon as you pick up your truck. You can drive it home without worry.
24-Hour Guidelines For optimal results, we recommend waiting 24 hours before:
- Washing your truck
- Placing items over 50 pounds in the bed
- Heavy-duty use or hauling
Full Cure = No Restrictions After the initial 24-hour curing period, your bedliner is fully ready for action. Load it up, haul heavy equipment, and use your truck however you need—there are no restrictions on what your bedliner can handle.
