If you do it post pics! I was thinking the bumper would just be to much line-X'd, but when I was on the 3rd try for powder coat on the bumper it was going to line-x next. I would like to see what it looks like.

Will do. I've got to get it priced out first.

I'll keep ya posted. I'm thinking that my Line-X guy mentioned something that the fenders wouldn't work because they are plastic and over time the line-x would flake off. I'll get that clarified.

The line-x dealer here said the same thing but, a few here have said that is wrong...

This is kinda..... true.

What I was told is to make sure it is fully in cased in line-x. But It won't chip or flake off. If it does come off it will be like pealing shrimp and will come of in one big piece. They told me that it doesn't bond as well to plastic as it does to metal. So don't use a power washer on the edge of it to get it started in pealing. I have used a power washer multiple times with no problems at all. I'm sure line-x will better explain this.

Where did you send them. I've been looking for some one to do that type of work for some other parts.

Sanded them a bit and gave them two coats. BOATLOADS cheaper than line-x

I had my fenders and bumpers wrap in mat black for 200.00 the hood for 300.00 and they came to my house to do it.

runNgun29 I like that look a lot, did you gloss black your back fender as well? Anyway you could post a picture? Also did you lift the front Fox suspension to level your truck?
