Having used raptor liner on the underside of the floor pan, I can say it does work well, but nothing like Linex. Raptor will harden up gradually over time. It will also release VOCs which means it shrinks over the prolonged curing time. I had it lift in a few inside corners where it separated from seam sealer. Linex stays rubbery and goes on thicker so its less likely to crack from a dent or gouge. Not that I'm planning to drop anything in my bed any time soon.

Each has their pros and cons though. Raptor will be cheaper and easier to touch up. Linex will hopefully honor a warranty, but rework can be a nightmare from what I've seen.

I don’t figure my bed will see heavy use. I raptor linered the inside of the cab floor and it came out nice. To me it’s glorified paint.

But it is a good two part catalyze system unlike the roll on crap.

Wish you were closer I'd have thrown some business your way if interested. Your paint looks every bit as good as the job I had done by pro's!

Put the fuel doors on. Got my first scratch out of the way. New plan. There aren’t enough days for the bedliner to cure before my trip so I think I’ll toss in the plastic liner.
