So I Learned first hand that Line-X has much better technology & lower cost to their dealers, thats why I must apply a thinner coating than them. If I used as much spray on formula as Line-X, I'd make no profit at all! Because of this I've had several returned bed liners on basic pick up trucks that needed warranty work done. Since I cannot afford to do this free these upset customers wanted refunds & for me to remove the leftover coating remaining on the bed at my cost.
I always say the same thing: I am not responsible for this, the manufacturer is, call them. But they never cover that cost like they promised me. I've been sued 6 times so far, lost valuable truck dealer clients like my closest Ford dealer, Chevy plus GMC, Dodge, Toyota, Nissan & most other truck dealers & owners won't use my Eau Claire or Chippewa Falls shops. I cannot lower my price & must use as little as possible in order to pay my bills. I started using other products instead of Rhino which seem better. I've use Crown Polymers.
I'm now trying to mix that stuff in & it's thicker but I'm not sure if Crown Polymers should be used on a truck bed. As customers few seem to care what's used because as a dealer they think its all Rhino. I'm just trying to make my business succeed. I also tried Vortex which also is much better than but they require buying their gun. Then I tried Granitex made by which is really for floors so it didn't work. Since that guy, Glen the owner of Vortex informed me that many Rhino dealers use Vortex & just call it Rhino, I did try. So the only thing Rhino Linings is is a big name. Coming right from the horse's mouth, RHINO SUCKS!

Response to Julius Lupowitz
AUTHOR: Eric Marsh - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 27, 2012
POSTED: Wednesday, June 27, 2012I'm looking forward to the day that they lock you up. I'm not alone.
By now anyone who has followed this thread has a pretty good idea what you're all about. You have done a good job of showing the world just what kind of a piece of work you are. If not all they have to do is google your name.
There's no purpose in my responding to your insults and lies. Obviously you don't know a damn thing about iPhone development or you would realize that the very idea that a programmer could "ruin" and iPhone is absurd. And as for my coatings business I just finished one large job for the City of Austin and we are looking at doing another one in a few months. I think that the people who choose to use my services is an indication of the quality of those services.
I recently had a fellow do some web research on me and he said that what he found was good - he was referring to my efforts at stopping you from ripping off more people by way of the web site I created at http://www.texliner.info. In fact I'm going to link to this thread on my web site and refer anyone who wants to see who the real Julius Lupowitz is to it.
That's a damn fine job you've done of shooting yourself in the foot. Congratulations!
Regards,
Eric Marsh

POSTED: Wednesday, June 27, 2012As for Eric Marsh of Durable Coating Systems, seemingly in yet another intimate relationship with Pete Bergee... Hey Petey, are you really through with woman or part of some gay group that Mrs. Eric March apparently also abused (in more ways than one?) with his not-so-durable services. We'll know pretty soon won't we? Eric Marsh is a criminal who steals from people wanting coatings & people with i-phones. Nice way to rip people off Eric Marsh- ruin their high-cost i-phones then slap some bad terrible coatings on em after Petey Boy pisses in em. Looking at the bad coating jobs you did Mr. Marsh it appears your angry customers won't use your i-phone developer services, right? Eric Marsh works Austin, Texas & lives in Lockhart Texas, P.O. Box 29, Lockhart, TeXas 78644 I guess.
OK that's enough for today, because: If you wanna play, we me that's OK, OK?

Mr. Lupowitz,
I'm not Mr. Bergee and I'm not going to interject myself into the conversation between the two of you. However when you get into "who started it" I will state that you are the one who first contacted me, you are the one who took my money and you are the one who never delivered the materials that I paid for. The paper trail is all right here:
You are also the guy who has been convicted once of a felony scam where you would call your dealers using a phony identity and place a large order from them and then after they ordered the materials from you your fake identity would just disappear. I have connected the dots demonstrating that is exactly what you did to me and a bunch of other contractors. It is documented here:
So rest assured, I for one will not quit until justice has been done.
Eric Marsh

Most of this crap is actually Pissy Pee-on PB, Pond-Scum EM & Jovial Joker JL yapping at each other thru public forum as well as mud slung by the tag team with anyone they can yap with, right? If so you may consider putting a halt to this. Why? Because as the kid in the MUDDY playground said, HE STARTED IT! or HE SLUNG IT FIRST!, or maybe try, I'M RUBBER YOUR GLUE... as in, If you try to hurt me then I'll do the same to.... guess who?

PETE BERGEE CORRUPTS ERIC MARSH & ALL
AUTHOR: JULIUS LUPOWITZ - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 06, 2012
POSTED: Wednesday, June 06, 2012Bergee made a deal with me funded by a leasing company whom he wouldn't pay. They sued him & won & he went bankrupt because of that. He sued my company & me unsuccessfully. Since then he's been on more angry, manipulative & quite persuasive rampage like some evangelist all against me. He needs to hear how he's destroyed this customer or that; he seemingly lives for this purpose. He's corrupted Mr. Marsh & some others so well that they also have tried to hurt me. Its sad enough to write a book on or, in most ways its also quite comical. Details amassed which may not interest you. Bergee's negative intensity is amazing - see www.rhinoliningsofchippewafalls.com & you'll hear him.
After hearing him you may agree he's probably a psychopath. There are other victims nobody here will refute: The 2 Afro Americans "officer" Bergee hurt which got his vindictive person thrown off the police force & the 2 woman with separate restraining orders against Bergee are 2 results of this maniac. There are others I cannot mention. Many & most of my clients who know of Bergee, some who spoke with him realize he really gets off on hurting some of us.
Aside from replying to this BULL**** there's not much else to do about Bergee until he self destructs as many like him do.

BERGEE THE MAD-MAN IS IN FACT SCHIZOID
AUTHOR: JULIUS - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, June 05, 2012
POSTED: Tuesday, June 05, 2012I persuaded her to relax as I speak up publicly about your anger, rage & schizoid persona if she's not mentioned. You know who she is; not one of those 2 with restraining orders against you- that's it, the employee that's her. At least now if you attempt to hurt her again there is some factual public record before hand. But relationships with woman are not your only only problem, as is factual with Mr. Pete Bergee of Rhino Linings of Eau Claire. Nope.
HERE IS REALITY: Could it be all those failed spray on bed liners he applied & sold? Might it be Bergee's lack of honesty or anger of anything adverse to his terrible beliefs? Is he again upset that he was discharged dishonorably from law enforcement for physically harming innocent people? Those people (of a different race than his) & that result on his pre-bed-liner career & pension must still anger him. Especially to a narcissist as Mr. Bergee it's personified along with all his other bad truck bed liner failures. Listen intensely all of you consumers & businesses under this wacko's influence: PETE BERGEE MUST HAVE A BAD LEVEL OF SCHIZOPHRENIA.
Look folks, I have little time to care about Pete Bergee or his problems, if any, with Rhino Linings except if he tries to take his sick anger out on me. I am Jules Lupowitz who you may contact at 321-704-4496 if you need facts or reality on Mr. Bergee. I just wish he'd direct his delusions elsewhere instead of onto a past vendor simply because he wouldn't pay his bills, got sued, lost, went bankrupt & is still trying to blame me or maybe others.
While I'm here I have the time to state this fact: Pete Bergee's sprayed bed liner sucks. Weather its from Rhino Linings of Chippewa Falls or Eau Claire or any company. If Pete Bergee tried to spray anything the job will be terrible. Don't get Bed liner or a coating service from that wacko!

Rhino report by Peter Bergee

AUTHOR: pac88 - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, June 05, 2012
POSTED: Tuesday, June 05, 20121) I don't know what Line-X charges for their chemical, and I can't imagine trying to steal receipts from a competitor to find out what their costs are. What an unethical thing to do!
2) Line-X and Rhino both offer expensive Graco high-pressure equipment to their dealers. Rhino also offers a more economical low pressure system. We have both systems, and we find that our customers like the grippy texture in their truck beds that our low pressure systems do than the lighter texture from the high pressure machine. Apparently Mr. Bergee could only afford the low pressure system and now regrets it.
3) We spray low pressure Rhino bedliners every day. Our prices for a bedliner have not changed more than 5% over the last 5 years. With chemical and labor costs considered, we make a fair profit on every liner. We've been using a standard thickness for many years, and our warranty repair rate is less than 0.1%. Why would Mr. Bergee knowingly spray thin liners that result in so many complaints, and then want to blame Rhino corporation? It sounds to me like he is blaming someone else for his poor financial and application decisions. In my opinion, any small businessperson that has been sued 6 times over their service should really focus more on their own personal shortcomings than to try to blame someone else. I can personally say that there is a decent business in applying Rhino bedliners for someone who knows how to run a business. Maybe Mr. Bergee has set up a cost structure (e.g. rent, salaries, insurance, marketing, etc.) that he can't afford.
4) Anyone who would mix chemicals has no idea what they're doing. Most polyurethanes have their own formulas/balance of resins and isocyclamates. Unless he is a chemical engineer, he has no idea what will happen when mixing chemicals from different vendors. Also, if he is mixing in non-Rhino chemicals and still selling it as "Rhino," then he is the one who is ripping off his clients. If Vortex is truly advising him that he should just use Vortex chemicals and sell it as Rhino, then Bergee and the owner of Vortex are the real ripoff artists.
In conclusion, from my observations, Rhino corporation is not perfect. There are no perfect corporations. They've done some things that I didn't agree with. But for the most part I've had a good experience selling their products. We do great work with Rhino products, and we have many very satisfied customers that come back to us time and time again. Mr. Bergee should look in the mirror to better understand his problems.
