The girl that prepped and shot my Line-X asked me how much I wanted done and did it. Full coverage plus the rear wheel wells. Stripped the wells,  bed and tailgate, prep and shoot. Zero overspray on any exterior surface.  Very nice job. She's moved on to another shop so I need to find a new dealer but the bumpers are next. Love this product. Not so much the dealer network granted, but there are good ones out there. Just have to find them. Job now three years old and looks new yet. Easy to clean. Did I mention I love this product? :D

Mine turned out well, not impressed with some of the prep work (they sprayed over the VIN tag on my tailgate, thanks buttholes) but otherwise very well done, very rugged, and looks fantastic in color match as well. I love mine too!

Just a quick observation on the factory spray in bedliner.  After looking over my truck and installing the bed cover, here is my thoughts.   1. This factory or should I say GM SIBL is exactl

Factory spray bed liner seems pretty tough in my truck. And I’ve thrown all sorts of things in there. Granted it’s a 2017 and not that old?

I was given the option to have it done at the dealership and after looking at the ones on the lot came to the same conclusion you have. Cheap job done with cheap materials without the proper prep work

I would imagine they are sanded.  Pretty sure they are all hand sprayed as well. 

 

GM does the liners off site.  Fort Wayne has a building a road over from the plant.  Ground Effects LTD is who sprays them for GM, Ultimate Linings is the brand.  Ultimate Linings also does the Ford and Ram spray liners. 

If that's the truth, then the beds aren't sanded. I saw a Line-X video where they compared Ford Spray in liner. Once it was cut, it peeled right out.

1. This factory or should I say GM SIBL is exactly what one would think, not a very high quality product.

2. It is very thin.

3. They didn't spray up under the bed rail.

4. It doesn't even looked like the bed was sanded.

 

I wish I had the option to not have it on the truck but it comes with the package.  I guess we will see how well it holds up.  I know you will ask, why do you need it sprayed up under the bed rail. I probably don't, but it could have at least went up a little higher under there than just cutting off at the bottom of where the rail edge hangs over into the bed, it isn't even painted black like the rest of the truck. Just the primer like what you see on the underside of the body.

 

It kind of looks like they take the truck, tape off everything but the bed and then robot arms come in and spray the liner and that is it, which is probably exactly how it is applied.  I wonder if they even sand the bed.

 

Again, just my thought on this.  Considering what one pays for these new vehicles, one would think there would be a little better quality on something like this.

I doubt they sand it. Ford doesn't before applying their factory bedliner.

I checked the bedliner on my 19 AT4 and it's sprayed up under the rails. It's not as thick as The Line-X I had in the past, but it's thick enough for homeowner use.

I've had a few.. LineX, Rhino liner.. My friend did my Rhino and put ti on extra thick.. I'd say the GM is almost as thick. I'm happy with it.. The only difference I've noted is that it's more slippery than the other brands..

That video has been debunked. It's on youtube. Chevy edited it and doctored it to get the results they wanted.

Yeah, my comment was very tongue-in-cheek. ;)

The process of applying a liner involves scratching the hell out of your bed. Dont get one when new - use the truck, then have one sprayed a few years later so its just like new again...

Unfortunately some option packages come with the spray in liner so that's not a choice for everyone..

 

W/ that said my truck is going on 4 years old  and 70k miles, I am not easy on my truck and I have had no issues...

Don't think Line-X warranties it on  a beat up bed. I might be wrong.

Factory spray on Bedliner on my 2017 Chevy Silverado wearing the paint off tailgate where the gate and box meet.  Bare metal!   Only 4500 miles on it.  Spray looks like it overhangs the box.  Going to call the dealer about warranty coverage. Happen to anyone else?  Solution?

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
