    I have a new project VX and was thinking of doing the Line-X on the cladding too. Spoke with a racer buddy who sprays it, told me it would not stick. So I am definitely interested in how it holds up for you.

    PS: Look for a new build thread coming soon......

    I did a lot of research on it. The info about it not sticking is old. They've had products and techniques to shoot it on to plastic cladding for a number of years.

    Apparently the trick is to rough it up/chemcal clean/etch/prime...

    ...then fully envelope the cladding inside and out.

    The line-X bonds to itself (obviously!)..and by enveloping the cladding
    this helps avoid peel away at edges.

    Cost at Line-X San Diego for this treatment .........$600.

    Exactly.

    And those dealers that don't understand that, don't want to do it. Talking to my guy, if they do understand it, they'll generally give you the lifetime warranty. 600 seems to be the magic number.

    Yup....

    My guy says some dealers are just P/Up bed guys...and dont want to venture into anything else....
    ........so quote CRAZY prices to deter people.

    Luckily my guy is excited...he loves doing strange stuff.

    His warranty....lifetime...and if I badly scratch the cladding...just take off the piece
    and he'll re-shoot it before any chance of it starting to peel......

    Seems like a great deal to me.

    I'm getting "satin" finish, medium texture...with UV protection.

    That sounds like exactly what we got. My guy says the same thing, he's excited to try new things. And since he's owned 3 Troopers, he loved seeing (and test driving) the Vx. When we were in getting some stuff touched up, he was showing off the Vx, telling someone, "This is the VehiCross I told you about!" Love it.
