Thinking about using Line X on the Rocker Panel and Bumpers for my truck. Anybody done this? I've seached and found pics of the rocker panels but not the bumpers. Pros/Cons?

 

Jsst got a FabFours rear bumper line-x'd. Will post pics after getting back from vacation in a week...sorry...

 

That's a friggin great idea. I could do that, ditch the nerf bars and get retractable running boards. And still protect the side.

 

First quote i got was $1,350 which includes the fancy lineX clearcoat and sand blasting the bumpers.

I think it is a good alternative to replacement bumpers. I dunno.. Need some pics

 

i want to do the same thing to my truck but the price at that price it will have to wait

 

That does sound like a lot of $$$, the Rhino liner in the whole bed was $425. We could prep the stuf our selves and save some moola.

 

If you don't get the clear coat and sand blasting the bumpers it is significantly cheaper

 

I got a quote for $600 for the rockers and both bumpers, just have to save the cash now to get it done.

 

sweet. i'll be calling a few other places this week. Did that include prep, removing/installing the bumpers, clear coat?

 

I have had my rockers done some 5 years ago. One piece of advice that I would give is this: Have them spray the rocker with the door(s) open all the way up to the plastic step cover. As happy as I am with mine, over the years there are some chips that are starting to show in the area that is just covered by the doors. Other than that this is one good investment .

 

Did not or can not duplicate picture uploads, please see post #49 in this thread for pictures of a Line-X'd FabFours rear bumper...or maybe it is user error, I can't figure it out.

i color matched my rockers. love it! i wish i took the black side modling off, but it still looks sexy as hell

 

Do you have a picture? I want to get mine color matched but want to see some first. Do they paint the liner material or is it mixed to the correct color and then sprayed?
Thanks
Will

 

I know that it is mixed, I do not know how close they can match the paint color. You also need to remember that texture plays games with what your eyes see due to different reflection angles, so it will probably be close, but not perfect.

 

I expect the texture to play a role in the way it looks, i'm more worried about the color being different from the paint color.
