Default Line-x / Rhino liner

Right now I use my truck as my daily driver but I do like to go off road with it and eventually it will be primarily used just off road. It has some rust that I need to get taken care of and then it needs a paint job. I was thinking and instead of paint, maybe going with line-x or rhino liner or something similar. Just wondering if anyone on here had done it or knows someone who has done it and could give me some insight. I know it will be heavier than paint and it's ugly but it will hold up better than paint. Not sure how much it would cost to do the whole truck compared to paint. Anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

If you are wanting to paint a whole truck in bedliner, I would think the cost alone would make you rethink. I generally do just a bed for around $500. It would cost around $2000 just for enough bedliner material to do a whole truck, (that is for a decent one, not the roll-on stuff from Pep Boys).

Check on-line for direct purchase from liner companies. Ive seen 2 gallon kits for $200. It might not be Rhino-Liner or whatever but it will last a LONG time. Ive done beds years ago that are still good with lower dollar spray material--not the rool on crap.
