I DID IT! Line X on my cladding...

[Ldub]

I posted the pic in the original thread up top. You can't see it?

I can see it, I can see it even better when I click on it...

Looks GREAT!...

[vxaddict]

That looks great! Can I ask how much that ran you to do the cladding?

[KRemo]

$940 out the door, tax and all. That included them removing the cladding, I'm sure it would've been cheaper if I had taken it off and brought it to them, but I'm ok with paying them to do it.

I like it..though maybe a tad shiny for me.

I wonder how this will "weather"...and if (heaven forbid) you get a crunch in a cladding section.....

...will the Line-X be "matchable" new to old...

After viewing your picture and seeing how beautiful the "X-tra" High Gloss portions are (hood insert/mirrors), I think the entire cladding should have been done in the "X-tra" (not Line-X) and kept it one paint theme. Oh well, too late now.

Glad to see you did it. Looks really sharp!
Peace.

Your ride looks great!!!!!

Its unique and now your cladding is looks indestructable.

Niiiiiiiiiiiice. Definitely a bit jealous

Not a big fan of the price yet but when I get a few more notches and dings it will be a bargain compared to buying new cladding. Once again who did you use and can you get them to do up a how to? I have seen posts that some shops refuse to do it because they do not think it can be done. With a how to from another shop it mght help others get this done.

One other thing any idea of the weight increase from the product?

Then it would look like this:

Much Mo Betta'...............although, it needs to be on something other than an Ebony so that it shows "contrast" and isn't merged into the same existing body color. On an Ebony VX, the matte subdued finish of the Line-X would look better which would show contrast between the different shades of black.

All that work, and couldn't finish the half moon portion on rear door.......

Also - the product will be the same now vs. 10 years from now. They use a UV protectant to prevent fading and the Line X has actually covered a few nicks and gouges that were in the cladding before. If I were to ever get into a fender bender, I could have them Line X over and cover any future problem areas. But I certainly don't expect to be bending any fenders. *knock on wood*

Jo,

My hood insert looks the same now as it did 2 years ago. I'll try to post a pic this weekend (I need to get it cleaned up after the snow/salt/crud of the past few weeks).

I don't think that fading is going to be a problem for him.

This spring I hope to take my spare hood insert in to be LineX'd & will take a side by side comparison shot for you.
