Rhino Linings has a number of different formulas and applications, from truck bed to RV to heavy equipment to military.
HardLine is the company's truck bed liner and Rhino calls it its hardest lining yet. Sprayed up to 1/8 inch thick into the nooks and crannies of a pick-up bed, it's designed for heavy impact and scratching, ideal for when the pick-up becomes a drywall and debris dumpster (check out Next Level Carpentry’s Matt Jackson’s “surgical” drywall removal here.)
It also fights off the elements, adding corrosion resistance to its list of truck-protecting features. It can also be sprayed in wheel wells, floorboards, and rocker panels. Add a broadcast medium to it and it’ll provide a nonslip surface.
Rhino also says that in addition to offering protection, its coatings reduce road noise, which seems ideal for the rattle traps that vans and service body trucks can be. It would be great to actually hear a phone call or podcast while driving.
The coatings are applied by authorized retailers, a list of which you can find on the company's website.
