Review: Scorpion Coatings X02 Bedliner Kit


Recommended Posts

Posted

Thanks for the review Chris. Hadn't heard of this before. Interested to see the long term results. Looks good though and I like the flake in it.

 

 

 

Where Did you find this info at? I was trying to find some details like this on their site but came up short, as far as longevity is concerned. And I'm assuming the 2500 hours is sunshine hours, so more like a year, but still not as much as I'd hope for.

 

I'll have to dig some more and see if there are any long term (multiple year) reviews out there.

 

I found the information on their website. Click the link below, then click "Physical Properties".

There's some other information there also such as tear strength. Tear strength is 352 psi. To compare, Rhino is 225 psi (Tuff Grip and Hardline) and LINE-X is 490 psi (Standard or Premium) and 750 psi (Pro and Platinum).

That 2500 hour thing was the benchmark test. They then pulled nukbers based off of that time

Hmmmm. I am tempted but have never used a drywall gun. I could f*** up painting a flat wall. How does the color tinting work? I have a blue truck and was thinking a blue bed liner might be alright. At this point I almost don't have to do any scuffing :) she is getting pretty well worn in.

 

I like the water heater test. My last Line-X did not stand up to that one. Some water was left in tank and the limestone/water that came out (not a lot) permanently screwed with the color (black). Was only in there for less than 2 hours until I washed it out. Called the shop that did it and they said nothing could be done, I would have to bring it back in. 2 hours away. Traded it in like that.

Color tinting is fairly simple. Instead of using the black that comes with the kit, go to your local paint supply and buy the base color you want and mix it in instead of black. As for the gun, there are a lot of youtube videos. I didnt change the tip of the gun and kept it regulated. Air constantly flows through the gun, but material doesnt come out until you pull the trigger. I put the regulator at the gun so i could shut off air since i only have a 15 gallon compressor.

Threw a set of wrecking yard leaf springs on the liner today. I was not kind because they were heavy, dirty, and i was wearing a nice new shirt. It is raining so i havent investigated their effect to the liner yet.

After watching all the Scorpion Coatings Video’s.. and learning more about the product and its application.. I see the need for the following:
Skiffing Cup Brushes for the entire bed for use on my Polisher. 6” and 4” $???

Plastic Sheeting to cover the truck $???

Masking Tapes 2 rolls at least $??? maybe 4
Mixing/Measuring tubs/buckets $???
Mold Release for the gun $???
Process
Mask everything
Skuff the bed
Clean the bed
Spray Adhesion Promoter
Spray the bed - cut in plus two or three passes
Remove the plastic cover & masking tape
OK - so you are going to spend an initial $200.00 for the “Kit”, then another $50.00 to $100.00 on all the other supplies/materials.
So you are going to spend $300.00 and 8 hours working - doing all this the first time. I know it takes me 3 times as long to mask something off - as it takes my buddy - that works in a body shop to do. I’m sure that if you did this five or six times - you could do it all in 3 hours.. but first time 8 to 10 hours.
My local LineX Dealer charges $533.00 for basic black with a lifetime guarantee. Personally I wouldn’t go though all this and take the risk of how it would turn out - to save $233.00.

I was a first timer and it came out great. Longest part of the process was prep

How is this holding up? I just had my dealership spray this liner in and I love how it turned out.

Still doing great. It doesnt get much hard work. But it does even handle cases of water, soda, and beer cases well.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
