What kind of texture does a rhino lining have? Would it be suitable for
the floor pans of a vehicle, or other places that people might frequent?

I had one put in my new Dakota back in April. I've done a little
hauling, mainly lightweight stuff, but also a couple loads of pool
sand and about half a ton of pavings stones. So far, no problems.

I wouldn't be too concerned with the weight, but I have no idea how
much it weighs. As long as the coverage is perfect, there should be
no problems with it being waterproof.

I paid about $400 for mine-- 6-1/2 foot bed, including the tops of the
rails (he cut me a $50.00 break thanks to a promotion he was doing).
That price sounds about right.

More questions:

Anyone ever used the stuff to line the backend of an open top 2-seat "Jeep
type" vehicle like a Wrangler, Amigo, or Defender 90? I am half-seriously
considering Rhino lining the back of my D90, but the permanent nature may be a
disadvantage if I ever need to dissasemble the body (to replace a rusted out
frame 20 years from now...) or remove access panels. Can the lining be removed
with a solvent or cut easily with a "hot knife" ? How well can they mask off
areas where you don't want the stuff?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Dan:

Rhino Linings can be used in a lot of places. Best bet is
to take the vehicle to a Rhino dealer and ask them for
some solid advice and cost. It really is a good product.

Am plannig this for my Amigo,

I talked to the shop and they said it would cost about 500 to do alkl the
exposed painted areaqs (bed, floorboards, etc.)

Apparently, if you want to rem0ove the stuff, it takes only a chisel or
air chisel and some time -- and is pretty easy to patch, also.
