There are a few things that you should consider when purchasing a Spray-In Bedliner.
What is this going to look like in my truck?
Turbo Liner has a nice tight, textured appearance with a factory like appearance. Cold sprays have a very chunky appearance.
Is thicker better?
No! The strength values of the material determine the thickness. Turbo Liner has a 3000psi tensile strength rating and is very strong. Cold spray polyurethanes average about 2500psi tensile strength, but are usually tested at nearly twice the thickness of polyureas. The bottom line is cold spray polyurethanes have to be sprayed thicker to get even close to the same strength values.
How long does the application take?
A Turbo Liner can be applied start to finish in about 1 hour. Cold spray polyurethane average about 4 to 6 hours.
Will it affect the resale value of my truck?
Yes! Turbo Liner will improve the resale value.

Possible Problems with Drop-In Liners
With plastic "pop-in" bed liners, water and dirt can get trapped underneath the liner, resulting in corrosion and noise while driving. Turbo Liner prevents rust and corrosion by permanently bonding to any surface, without bolts or air gaps. It also deadens sound vibration giving a quieter ride. Plastic "pop-in" liners tend to warp and even crack in extreme weather conditions or from heavy loads. Again, this simply is not an issue for Turbo Liner.
Possible Problems with Polyurethane Liners
Polyurethane liners are sprayed in many different ways, but one thing holds true about almost all of them they dry slow. What happens when spraying Polyurethane is you end up with a thicker coating in the valleys and a thin coating on the peeks of the bed. The other thing about Polyurethanes is that most of them have a really rough and chunky texture that short of looking bad the texture has no other function. Color holdout is another issue. Most companies don't use much UV protection in their materials, which causes them to chalk and fade out almost immediately.
Because polyurethanes have such slow dry times the material can run down or sag, pooling up in the low spots leaving the material thin on the main or high spots of the bed surfaces.
With a Polyurea this is not an issue. With the application process and dry times of Polyurea's the material is applied in an even coat across all surfaces and is dry in seconds.
