reapir body cladding

[PWX1]

some loveable fool keyed my side body cladding- what's a quick fix- i don't want to rub it raw!

[Cptnmorgan]

NEW cladding is the only "fix" I know of. If you try to sand it out you will lose the texture. Contact St. Charles Isuzu and get you a new piece. Depending on which piece it is (assuming it's a fender piece) it will run you around $200.

Next best solution is to have all your cladding coated in Line-X or Rhino lining. They do it in colors, therfore you may be able to change the whole look of your ride.......

good luck,

I have a brand new passenger side front fender piece of cladding sitting in my basement collecting dust. Make me an offer

My cladding was gouged a little bit when a dealership was doing some repairs. They were able to heat/reform/retexture the cladding rather than replace it. However, it was very small and they had to bring a 'professional' person in to do it. They didn't have someone on their staff that could handle it. I don't know if this technique would work in a bigger scratch or in a highly visible place. Just a suggestion if the cladding is going to be replaced anyway - it might be worth a test.

I thought I had read somwhere a long time ago that cladding for any specific VX is serial numbered and recorded/registered to the VIN# ...

... Is it?

[Triathlete]

Just a suggestion...
Quite a few have had LIne-X applied to their cladding with great sucsess. Not only does it look good but its also durable and helps protect it! It also comes in colors if you desire a change.

line-x....is that why i see pics of some vx with blue side cladding and whatnot? you kno where i can get the product? im gettin scratches on mine as well...damn people in parking lots disrespectin my vx -__________-

[Dallas4u]

Yeah, Line-X is a truck bed protectant. It looks good and seems to work well.

[hchen]

so i can pick it up at autozone or pepboys? places like that?

[Vasha13]

I think Line-X is professionally applied but I am unsure as to how much it costs to have done. I know there are threads on this so maybe a search function for the cost or additional details.

I found this info on Club Vmag
