Question About Line-X And Cladding

[Numba1goalie]

I have my entire Jeep YJ sprayed with the same stuff and he had to get a high grit sander and sand down the body to make it stick well. Thats where the problem comes with the cladding, cause I dont know how thick it is personally. I wouldnt see the hood being a problem but it would be silly to do just that, or that at all.

Go to a different, more knowledgeable shop. The cladding only needs to be scuffed with sand paper and sprayed with a plastic prep before coating. Many VXes have already been done - Rhino is ridiculously overpriced BTW.

You will need to use an adhesion promoter to piant plastic. I've painted plastic parts on several cars and it's never peeled using a good adhesion promoter. Even the one we bought at WakMart, (short on time so we had to) bull dog brand or something like that, and the Duplicolor one seems to be holding very well. It's almost like glue for your paint. The black plasitc side mirrors on my SRT-4 are about the same material as the cladding on our VXs and I used the duplicolor promoter with Mopar paint and even though they are assulted by rocks, bugs and other flying objects there is not one flake or chip.

hope this helps... BR

Can anybody tell me what they paid for their Line-X job?

Got mine done over a year ago for about 450 for a blue line x cladding and insert. They used some spray befor the linex to make sure it stuck
