No, they don't exist. Spray liner is the only option, but I've been told that stuff causes rusting.

I doubt many MB owners would spend $500+ on a ute liner.

Isn't the business called rhino tray linings?

I think you can buy kits from supercheap.

The guy actually came to my work to buy some tools for epoxy flooring which is another part of his business. I have his mobile number but will check with him before i post it.

I get spray in liners done with work sometimes...
Expensive but good.
Brayden - No, Spray in liners don't cause rust at all. They actually seal up the tub well so no moisture can get to the metal and create rust. That being said, if the tub is rusted already the liner will seal it up so you can't get to it and fix it... Bad.

Pretty much you've got 2 options..
1) Use the ute as a car and don't carry anything that'll mess up your pretty painted tub. :?
2) Spray in a liner and ise it how it was meant to be used. :wink:

Rhino Lining
Speedliner
LineX
Those are the three major ones doing it.

I'm going Speedliner because i can get it in a nice red to match my car. :D 8)

Bought the Hippo liner for just over $100 (from a wholesaler), the same one that is sold in Supercheap for $200. I have rolled it on and it is in perfect conditions. BTW, I have prepared the tray sanding it to metal and used a rust converter before rolling the liner.
Highly recommended and great results.

I stand corrected! That does look like a one-off fiberglass liner though.

Also I did find out a couple of years ago that there was a factory option for plastic ute liner panels, but only in Japan. I have pics somewhere and will try to dig them out.
