What's peoples' experience with Tray Liners for a Hilux Dual Cab SR5 Diesel? I have seen the spray on Rhino type, and the Aero drop in type, and can't decide on which way is better to go. If I have a couple of dogs in the back and some diesel cans, are there any things to look out for?

Paddy,
I had a spray on one in the back of my Trusty Triton dual cab a few years back, it looked good and was very durable. The only problem was when I was getting the mulch out of the back on one occasion I scraped / damaged the coating, from there I got corrosion and if I hadn't repaired it I'm sure the metal would of corroded through after not to long a time, once it was marked as you can imagine everthing caught on this scrape, even when the damage had been repaired there was still a laminated finish and it never looked as good as it did orginally, in hindsight a liner in my opinion would of been the better option. I did consider removing the coating at one point but that was as far as I got, considering it, one of those jobs from hell. You can always remove the liner but the coating will look very rough when you come to sell the ute if the coating has a hard life. Keep the shiny side up

Spoke to a guy selling that spray on stuff at a car show once...
Getting rid of it if you ever decide you don't want it anymore is hardly even worth considering...we're talking about grinding it all off!
If it gets raty and looks bad after a while pretty much the only reasonable option is to get another fresh application put straight over the top of it.
Cheers,
Luke.
