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

[Marlin]

IMHO, the texture of the LineX allows the higher gloss of the hood insert to still cut down on glare. I've noticed NO difference in glare before/after the insert was coated.

He didn't line-x the insert, some other kind of paint/coating. I am Riff on this one, it doesn't 'fit' with the Line-xed cladding.

I can see where the textured stuff would cut down on glare, no smooth surface to reflect off of.

It looks pretty good. Know what would completely set it off? A 2" lift, some black rims, and some nice A/T or M/T tires!!!

Ooops! I forgetted that part.

Oh well, the info is still good for anyone that may be interested in putting LineX on their insert.

Maybe he went with the non-textured finish so that the insert fangs would work

That's exactly correct, the fangs would probably not have worked well if the insert was coated with the bedliner material.

The LINE-X bedliner material was treated with black Xtra. Xtra is UV resistant (and thus fade resistant) and will hold its gloss. Xtra contains a DuPont Kevlar micropulp for enhanced durability. The insert and mirrors are just costed with Xtra without the bedliner material.

The cladding has been encapsulated with the LINE-X bedliner material and the cladding will be able to take a LOT more abuse than just painted cladding.

Personally, I like the contrast between the texture and smooth finishes, it looks unique and pretty darn sharp in person

KRemo: THANK YOU!

About that comment regarding Jeeps. We apply LINE-X to Jeeps almost monthly. I think they look pretty good also!

OK, Mr. Line-X, can you post more or post a link to more photos of that beige Jeep or any other beige vehicles you have done?

Thanks - Bart

[LINE-X]

Here are two different beige Jeeps. After we applied LINE-X to one of them, the owner applied some military insignia.

First Jeep which is the same as the one previously posted:




Second Jeep:

Looks sort of silver in the pictures, but it's actually a beige color.

I realize this is a VehiCross forum, not a Jeep or other forum. But, if you will allow me to post those pics: For those of you in the Fort Worth area, we applied LINE-X to the interior of this vehicle.

Is it possible to do a white (white like our Ironman) Line-X??

[LINE-X]

Yes, we can apply white. We charge a little more for white and yellow because those colors a bit more difficult to work with though.

Here's a Ford pearlcoat, a very difficult color to apply, takes all day!

[KRemo]

I like the pearl!!!!

Patrick Cooper's Line-x VX is as sick as it gets. If I knew how to post his picture here I would.

KRemo--- You might also want to consider re-painting the Hood Fangs in "White" to match your Ironman body color. They would really stand-out against the black background on the hood insert and would give it a snazzy look. Just a thought.
