Re: Spray On Bedliners
No no, I don't buy it at all. LINE-X in Canada is not different than LINE-X in the US. LINE-X has had two world wide conventions and I've been to both. Canada does not have different products. Xtra is made by Dupont only for LINE-X. There is nothing "like" Xtra on the market. I betcha they're using a urethane based automotive paint. That was (and still is) used by those dealers that are not Xtra certified. The most commonly used urethane based paint is Dupont Ful-Thane Nason. Actually, Nason works well and looks great, but it's not as durable as Xtra. Nason will be OK for you if you do not use your truck's bed for super heavy duty purposes. Now, she might be talking about another product called Ultra Shield, a water based product that I don't care for. If it's Ultra Shield, then, I would say it's a step below Nason. So, best to worst is: Xtra, Nason, Ultra Shield
She's also incorrect about dealers in the US just now starting apply color matches. I trained with a guy that was one of the first distributors in the US. He's been spraying and training others on color matches for 15 years (or more ?).
