WHY SPRAY-ON BEDLINERS ARE
THE ULTIMATE TRUCK BED
PROTECTION
ArmorThane sets the gold standard in durability and performance in all things spray-on bedliner solutions (sometimes called a spray in bedliner). We’re a leading formulator, manufacturer, and distributor of polyurea and polyurethane protective coatings, with over 35 years of experience serving customers across the United States and beyond. Truck owners trust ArmorThane’s spray-on (or spray-in bedliner) products to shield their vehicles from damage, abrasions, and weathering. Our advanced polymer coatings form a durable bedliner that provides superior protection and a permanent solution to keep your truck bed in great shape, even when under the harshest of conditions.

THE BENEFITS OF ARMORTHANE SPRAY-ON BEDLINER
Choosing an ArmorThane spray-on bedliner means investing in long-lasting quality, and a technology that outperforms the competition (Enhanced resale value is another bonus: a protected bed helps preserve your truck’s value). There’s a lot to love about bedliner products, but we’ve boiled down the top three benefits for almost any truck bed:
SUPERIOR DURABILITY &
LONG-LASTING PROTECTION
ArmorThane bedliners create a thick, impact-resistant layer that guards against dents, scratches, and abrasions. Their tough and durable finish is engineered to withstand heavy loads and rough cargo that preserves your truck bed’s integrity for the long-term (and the long-haul; literally). Our coatings won’t crack or peel, so can rest assured that your truck bed is supported by long-lasting protection mile after mile.
PERMANENT &
AIRTIGHT BOND
Unlike sandbags or other conventional methods of trench breaking, spray foam forms a highly durable and watertight barrier with robust resistance to both physical and chemical degradation. It’s typically rated for decades of reliable operation, saving time and money by avoiding costly repairs or replacements, and an easier solution from the start.
ALL-WEATHER &
ALL-CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
ArmorThane formulations are built to endure extreme temperatures – from blistering desert heat to bitter winter cold – without becoming brittle or losing adhesion. They also feature built-in UV resistance, so the color won’t fade or chalk even under intense sun exposure. Plus, the coating resists damage from gasoline, oil, fertilizer, and other chemicals, so spills and harsh substances won’t compromise the protection. This makes our bedliners ideal for demanding use in industrial applications and even on emergency vehicles.
ENDLESS BEDLINER
APPLICATIONS
Spray-on bedliners aren’t just for pickup truck beds – far from it. ArmorThane’s versatile coatings offer truly endless applications across automotive, industrial, and even outdoor projects, but we’ll share just a few to whet your appetite:
PICKUP TRUCK BEDS & TAILGATES
Everyday pickup owners and professionals rely on ArmorThane to protect their truck beds, tailgates, and wheel wells. Tossed tools, shifting cargo, and harsh weather are no match for our liner. It even coats in-bed tool boxes, so your gear stays secure and your truck is ready for any job or outdoor adventures.
OFF-ROAD & RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
TRAILERS & BOATS
From utility trailers to boat decks, ArmorThane provides a tough, waterproof layer that stands up to abuse. Spraying a trailer floor prevents abrasion and rust from heavy loads, while coating a boat deck or ramp adds a non-slip, weatherproof surface. Even RVs benefit – our coatings seal roofs and compartments against leaks and damage.
Fleet & Emergency Vehicles:
Commercial and emergency vehicles alike turn to ArmorThane for heavy-duty protection. Lining a work van’s cargo area or a fire truck’s equipment bay prevents wear, corrosion, and rust from constant use. Even heavy machinery in industrial applications – from construction to farming – can have high-wear parts coated to extend their service life under tough conditions.
CUSTOM COLORS AND A DURABLE FINISH
We understand that one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we offer bedliners in an expansive range of colors, not just basic black or simple primary colors. Want your liner to match your truck’s paint or your company’s branding; we can mix custom colors to suit your needs, and our pigments are UV-stable to provide excellent UV resistance so colors won’t fade even under harsh sun.
You can also choose the texture of your bedliner. Prefer a sleek, easy-to-clean surface, or a rough, non-slip grip to keep cargo from sliding? We can do either. No matter what custom combination you choose, the result is a tough, uniform coating that delivers the same protection and durability ArmorThane is known for.

APPLYING ARMORTHANE’S SPRAY-ON BEDLINERS
SURFACE PREPARATION
The key to any lasting coating is a properly prepared surface. Applicators meticulously clean, sand, and degrease the truck bed (or other substrate) to remove dirt, rust, and old finishes. Thorough surface preparation creates the ideal profile for the coating to bond, ensuring maximum adhesion with no weak spots.
PROFESSIONAL
APPLICATIONS
Once prepped, the coating is applied using specialized equipment. We utilize a high-pressure plural-component pump system that heats and sprays the polyurea material through a precision spray gun. An industrial air compressor and heater help deliver a consistent spray, and unlike a basic aerosol spray can from a DIY kit, our high-pressure system lays down a far thicker truck bed coating spray that coats every corner of the surface. The sprayed-on coating cures within seconds to form an airtight, seamless layer – a true permanent solution that won’t peel or chip.
FAST CURING
& FINAL FINISH
ArmorThane’s advanced chemistry means your new bedliner sets very quickly. In just a few minutes it becomes tack-free, and within a few hours it fully hardens into a rugged shell. After application, the finish is inspected to ensure uniform coverage and proper thickness, and the entire application process is typically completed on the same day. You’ll drive away with a bedliner that’s ready for hard use and built to last.
Note: While DIY options do exist, a home spray on bedliner kit or truck bedliner kit cannot match the bonding strength and long-lasting protection of ArmorThane’s professionally applied system. Our years of expertise and proper equipment make all the difference in achieving a bedliner that will truly stand the test of time.

FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A spray-on bedliner is a thick protective coating applied directly to a truck’s bed (or other surface) using a high-pressure spraying system. It’s typically made from advanced polymers like polyurea or polyurethane. The coating cures into a tough, rubberized layer that is seamless and permanent. Unlike a drop-in plastic liner, a spray-on bedliner won’t shift or trap water, and it provides superior abrasion and impact resistance.
ArmorThane bedliners are extremely durable – they’re engineered to last the life of your vehicle. Once sprayed and cured, the liner becomes a permanent part of the surface. It resists scratches, dents, and chemical spills, and it won’t peel or chip even under heavy use. Thanks to UV resistance and all-weather stability, the color and performance remain consistent for the long term.
Yes. ArmorThane offers spray-on bedliners in many custom colors beyond the standard black or typical primary colors. We can often match your vehicle’s paint or mix a unique hue.
