bedlining the whole truck

Thinking of bedlining my whole truck. I believe linex is the way to go. sounds like its tougher and wont fade. does anybody have any pictures of an f 150 with this done?

Haven't ever seen anyone get an entire F150 done, Ive heard of people getting wheel wells sprayed or bumpers and brush guards. Ive seen pictures of jeeps entirely sprayed but a totally line-x'd f150 has to be some thing rare to see.

If you decide to do it, be sure to get the optional LINE-X Xtra product to prevent fading.

I don't think I have a picture of a F-150, but here's a Chevy.

Wow, that had to cost the guy a pretty penny. Definitely original though

Well, it's less expensive than a quality paint job.

That looks slick and all but honestly if your paint is still in pretty good condition and your truck won't get abused to where it will damage the paint to me it would be a waste. If your someone that hunts for example and your driving through brush and what not, perfect but if it's a city truck what's the point.

My 2 cents.

I think you'd have a hard time getting wax out of all the nooks and crannies when its time to shine it up.

theres a guy on the landcruiser forum who did his fj40 inside and out, matched it to the original yellow. looks good and from a distance can't tell its line-x'd. i have been throwing the idea around for my fj40 when the time comes i just can't bring myself to do it.

That's nothing sheck this one out I did here at the shop before I stopped doing spray-ins. Actually this is my wife's old car and we still have it, looks as good now as when I did it 3 year ago. The runs on the hatch were my fault and not the material itself.

I realize you're joking, but just to let everyone know: LINE-X with Xtra will ALWAYS have a gloss, there's no need to apply a wax or anything else. Just wash it.

Gray LINE-X Xtra on the entire truck. Picture is not great, it was a rainy day.

I'm not a huge Chevy fan, but I really dig the way that one looks. Amazing...

I am surprised at how good they actually look except that M&M thingy, but all in all im shocked at myself for even saying that they look good but i would do that in a heart beat as to never wash or wax my cars ever again?
