That's a great question I wish people would ask more often. The answer? Yes.
There are probably 20 recognizable dealers in bedliners-- Rhino Linings, Line-X, Armorthane, Ameraguard/Armaguard, Arma Coatings, Ultimate Linings, Extreme Liners, Permatech, Toff, Speedliner... and nearly all of these "Brand Names" purchase their chemicals from the exact same manufacturer. How they differ is what they do outside of their product. Some brands support their shops better, some offer more marketing, some have lower costs. But in the end, the quality of your bedliner will come down to two things-- how well the shop sets up its equipment, and how good the person is spraying. It is more important to find a shop that does good work than finding one who supports a particular brand.
Don't pay any attention to show vehicles or samples of the liners-- everyone will calibrate their machines perfectly and work hard to make these look perfect. Ideally, you could find an average guy who walked in with his truck and got it sprayed three years ago. If the color and thickness is consistent with straight, even edges and no sign of peeling or fading, you've found a shop that does quality work. Unfortunately, finding that guy is very difficult. I'd suggest asking around your area an on forums such as this.
Good luck with your hunting,
Mac
