Truck bedliners are coverings that protect the inner-side of a truck bed from damage and can prevent fine-grained cargo such as sand from sifting between the sides and the rear door. Such bedliners are of two types: the plastic drop-in and the "spray on" type.
"Sprayed On","Sprayed In","Spray On", "Spray In" (these terms are used interchangeably in the industry) come in two classes of material and two main types of application processes: aromatic and aliphatic compounds applied through a Low pressure (not heated) or high pressure (heated) process. All offer similar protection but with different cosmetic and performance characteristics.
Aromatic is generally used for black and darker colors, and is the least expensive option.
Aliphatic can be a better option for colors because it is UV stable. It is produced with pure polyurethane, driving cost up approximately 35%. Aliphatic materials can be sprayed in a wide variety of colors, including metallic finishes.
Spray-on bedliners can be applied by roller, low pressure, cartridge driven by an air compressor or high pressure machine.
