Has anyone line-x xtra (color matched) their chrome bumpers? kinda want some color matched bumpers instear of my chrome ones... but then i gotta deal with rock chips... maybe this can be a solution?

 

i plan on doing the same thing this summer. you'll have to strip the chrome off the bumpers first, i'm gonna sandblast mine. got a quote of 600 bucks front and rear colormatched dark shadow gray.

 

same color as my truck! wont the blasting pit the metal? or doesnt matter?

 

They scuff up the surface anyways so the linex can adhere to it

 

i dunno about color matched linex, all those liner coatings fade in the sun, and not that slowly either, unless you keep on getting it UV refreshed, it will dull pretty quick

 

I dupli'colored my black one that had rock chips all over it. I did it for 8 bucks. i think there are pics in my gallery. if it fades, i'll hit it again with the duplicolor. (spray on bedliner)

 

I got my chrome bumpers color match line-x'd about 2 years ago. This was before anyone around here had the x-tra so they did fade, but it's not too bad. I'll probably look into getting them re-done or something, but I've got a ton of stuff I want to do first.

The line-x has held up VERY well and except for the color, they look just like they did when I had it done.

Day after line-x


Last year


It looks the same today. The pic in my sig was taken yesterday and it's real close to the pic above.

 

The color faded from that red to that gray? That sucks.

 

Who is the girl in that sig!?!?! WOW!

 

It's more like a greyish red.....I'm not good with colors, but it's still got a maroon tint to it, but it's not as rich. It sucks but when I had it done, the guy that sprayed it told me to come back in 6 months to get some uv protectant sprayed on and.........well I never went back. It does look better after I hit it with some Aerosapce 303.

And Pimp, I don't know who the girls is, sadly. When I was messing around making my sig I googled hot bikini girl and I found a sit called sexygirlphotosharing or something. There were some nice pics on there and almost all were PG-13.
