I just got my truck Monday night and would really like to get my Line-X sprayed in soon...but was just wondering what I could expect in terms of fading over the course of time?

I know it will fade to some degree, but will it still look half-way decent after say 3 years or so?

Any experiences?

Thanks,
E

 

Will depend on if the truck is garaged or sits outside. Outside 1 1/2 to 2 years it will be faded. Garaged 3 to 5 years it will be faded. You can take it in after it fades and have a new top coating applied to make it shine again.

 

As you said, a certain amount of fading is to be expected. However, there is a top-coat application that can be applied to the Line-X and I think it's called Endura Gloss. When I had my liner sprayed, this was included in the installation but some dealers may charge an additional $50-$100 for it. You may wanna check into that.

Also, there's a $20 off coupon on the website.

 

I had a drop in liner in my 2000 XLT and an ARE hard tonneau cover. The liner looked like new after 4 yrs. I believe any liner srayed-in or drop-in will fade over time if left uncovered IMO.

 

Had Line-X installed on my truck nearly five years ago and it faded.

My hair is thinner and I'm using a different hole on my belt too.

 

it will .... mine did ... may take less time than mine did in 2001 did in the South Florida sun though .....

 

If you're worried about fading i think you'd be happier with a bedrug and a rubber mat on top for the heavy hauling.
