We are starting the process of replacing the our vinyl liner. I have read about companies installing truck-bed-liner material as an option to a vinyl liner. Does anyone have experience with this? Pros or Cons?
Anyone used spray-on liner for vinyl liner replacement?

Never heard of this being used in a pool. Do you have links or anything we can read up on?

Quick check on the square foot of my 16 x 32 pool is appx 975 at $3.50 per sq. foot = roughly $3500. How much is a liner?

I just got a rough quote for a liner about that same size... it was around $ 2,600 for liner + install
Here's our issue and why we are looking into this product.....our liner is only 4 years old and has never fit "like a glove" which is what the mfr said it should fit like. It has stretched or was mis-measured so bad that it is embarrassing....our pool is 20 x 44 and the first step-down is a full-width tanning ledge that extends out 4 feet. There are at least 4 very noticeable wrinkles extending out of the ledge (going out towards the deep end) and continuing down the 3 remaining steps. Additionally, it is loose in the corners and also around the perimeter of the pool near the top. I've gotten many blisters trying to smooth out the wrinkles only to have them return while I'm smoothing out the next one. I'm tired of the wrinkles and thought this might fix it. From what I'm being told, the spray-on liner has a 25 year warranty...... any thoughts? comments?

Does it only come in black like the truck bed liners I've seen? I wonder how that would affect your water color?
Oops! I just saw the links and the various colors. Seems like it could be a good option. Would you care for the texture?

I can't comment on the pool aspect, but I did sneak Skippy's Dodge Ram truck off one year about 10 years ago and had that done to the bed of the truck. To this day it still looks brand new!

There are texture options: fine or coarse grit, a hardener for additional strength which also smooths surface more.....my main concern is the permanence - once it's on, it's on - I can't imagine having to have it removed!
Must be the industrial version of Flex Seal. 
I would like to see some references - finished products. It is an interesting thought. Any idea where some of the installs are?

Installs are all over - east & west coast, midwest....I was told that it's a relatively new application which is why I'm hesitant. The installer I would be using has done several however he only started doing them in the last year or so. From what I've seen, though, they look nice!
Did you end up going with the spray in liner? If not, howcome? If so, let's see it! The concept sounds absolutely amazing!! (As we are on day 3 of replacing our liner in the heat, and it suuuuuuucks!)
