Has anyone used colors with the liners? Do they fade? Any pics?

I had my Rhino color match Pewter. It is garage kept and I do not have a tonneau cover. It may have faded a little since I had it done about three year ago. I have not had it cleaned with their stuff yet. Even if it has faded a little it does look far better than the black color in my opinion.
Do a search on here. A picture of it should be there.

Don't they use the factory paint in the product to match the paint color to the truck? If they did then wouldn't it fade more or less at the same rate as the rest of the truck?

It is the same color code as the truck color. But I think since it is not a flat product it gives a slightly differenct contrast.
And they are UV protected. If that means anything.

I'm a LINE-X dealer.

Most brands just add pigment to the liner. They try to get close to the factory color. They also will fade, taupes turn green, reds turn pink, etc.

I use the factory paint code and color match with Dupont Nason paint. Nason is an automotive paint. It's glossy, the color will match, and it won't fade. From last Friday to next Monday, I will have sprayed at least 7 color matches. (Today, I sprayed color match for a Toyota and a Ford dealer.) They are getting very popular.

Whatever brand you choose, if they only add pigment to the liner, DON'T get a color match.

Here are some LINE-X non-fading color matches:

Here is a competitor whose color matches are not supposed to fade. They sprayed the rockers and fender flares. You tell me if these look good.
