    I thought I would chime in with a few comments regarding the use of LINE-X on the cladding. I'm the LINE-X dealer working with KRemo.

    We have a substrate manual that states that LINE-X is not recommended for polypropylene and polyethylene. I suppose our chemists have determined through pull-off tests that LINE-X does not obtain reasonable adhesion to these substrates.

    That being said, I understand that there are a few successful applications of LINE-X to the cladding. So, we are going to give it a try.

    There is a private LINE-X dealer online forum and I have asked if anyone has any experience with the Vehicross.

    Having said that, does that negate any warranty associated with the application? Also ask around if others have done any Chevy avalanche applications. Pretty much same stuff.

    The LINE-X nationwide limited lifetime warranty is only applicable to truck beds. Everything else is warrantied by the individual dealers as they see fit.

    Thanks for all of the info, I'm going to continue to research the matter.

    One of our members has like 30 yrs of paint/body work experience and contributed some thoughts on surface prep. Another member posted Isuzu's prep instructions. Maybe some of these would have some helpful info for you.

    There was a VX in your area that had "orange" Line-X for years. I sold to a new owner last year, or maybe early this year. Previous owner really liked the success he had with the product.

    Yeah, it was member "woody", lived in Plano. Might try his email address to ask where he had it done so you could contact them for info.
