Can Line-X Xtra be applied to chrome bumpers, the lower front valance (plastic piece below the bumper), and factory plastic running boards?

How well can redfire paint be matched with Xtra?

 

I think Truckgasim can answer this but from what I know about LineX and Xtra, it can be applied there but they do have to prep the surface. Prob not any different than paint....

 

Can LINE-X be applied to:

1. Chrome bumpers - Yes
2. Lower plastic facia - Yes
3. Plastic running boards - I've never applied to them, but I would say that if the running board cannot be totally encapsulated with LINE-X, then no, don't do it.

Xtra color match: The Xtra will contain the same pigments at the same ratio as your truck's paint, so it will be the same color. However, your paint is a multi-stage (base, middle, and then clearcoat) paint and Xtra is a single stage product. Also, LINE-X has a texture, your paint is smooth. So, while the Xtra color will be the same, it will reflect light differently than your paint.

Here's a closeup of a Toyota blue color. The Xtra even contains metallic flakes, just like the truck's paint. (Note: In this pic, the Xtra has been "pooled" per the customer's request. Typically, the bedliner would have more texture.)

Hey Gasm, I believe I know you by another name on a Chevy truck forum. I asked you on there but I got my answer with the pic of the red chevy, you put the same one on there last week.

 

That's quite possible!

 

Why do you say this? If you spray the bumpers, they wouldn't be totally encapsulated would they? Wouldn't it just be the outer surface that would be covered?

 

Plastic is a different animal than metal. Typically, plastic on vehicles is fairly flimsy. We prefer to encapsulate ANY piece we are spraying no matter what it is, but it's more important to do this on plastic.





Bushwacker is totally encapsulated.


So is this Tacoma's lower facia and fender flares.

 

wait what is that stuff it is so cool, private message me please/
