You can get the Line-X color matched using the Line-X Xtra.

There are several ways to get the line-x, eather just regular, it will not be shinny long and will fade due to UV rays, you can get line-x with "line-xtra" which is a UV protection, and is said to never fade and always be shinny, if it fades it is replaced no questions asked, and you can get line-x PTM with or without line-xtra. I originally ordered my bumpers line-x with ptm. When I went to pick them up somehow the paint company had mixed the paint wrong and the bumpers were a gray/green color. I didnt want to do my rockers and them do them the wrong color so I just had them do it all, bumpers, rockers, step bars and fender flares in Line-xtra black. It ran me 1,300 but they had to sand blast my bumpers and step bars to remove the chrome then prime the metal. I love the look and have got lots of comments at gas stations. It cleans easy, wet rag, wipe, its clean! no rock chips again and I like the color contrast too. Best money I have put into the body I think!

Looks good. Did they make you remove all of the parts to do it?

I removed the bumpers and took them to them and they removed the fender flares. I put the parts back on myself and the front bumper is a pain.

I was thinking of doing this to my white truck. Did you have them do the fenders underneath the fender flares? I was thinking of doing it under the flares because of so many people saying the fenders rust underneath the bushwackers? Do you think the flares would still fit over lineX?

I didnt because my fenders look fine still. My fenders have some scuffed paint where they touch but other than that, nothing. They would still fit I think. Unless they sprayed it really thick
