For sure! I am not saying you don't ding it up. I had about 6 places where I tore parts of it off. But I use my truck for work and have a ranch where I hunt and off-road, so it takes some abuse. Did some touch up a few weeks ago and the patches do not quite match perfectly. Might as it fades. I kinda like the patches, it make the truck look, well like a truck! Parked next to a white raptor today and the guy came out and said he hates his gray and how much did I spend to line-x everything. I told him it was PD and about fell over. Said he was going to get some that day. The gray on the trucks just does not look right IMO. To each their own if you like it.

And the line-x is a fantastic product. But to do all the gray, what are we talking $$? 2 grand? More?

Not that much......I will be out of pocket $700. That gets me Line x premium for: front and rear bumpers, hood vents and all 4 fender flares, --plus, he does the removal and re-installation. Price sounds par for the course from what everyone is telling me on here. NOT doing the rocker panels. Thanks guys for the 2 cents.

I will say this, the plasti-dip applications that I've seen pictures of look great. I just don't think it's for me. If it was, I'd save a bundle!

Anyone price the grille yet? I'm thinking

Flares
Grille
Hoodvents

I'll end up getting aftermarket bumpers so I didn't want to waste the money on those. I might even plasti-dip those to make the truck look right for now.

What are you specifying on the premium regarding color and finish? I'm thinking it would be neat to have a bit of gloss in the finish sort of like my factory spray in bedliner.

REKIII: i will post the quoted price to have the grill done once I meet with this line x guy....
And as fas as finish goes, I'm thinking matte black. But it's not set in stone yet. Btw... I didn't know that the factory line x bed had gloss.

Freight: I just can't see spending 600 bananas on the rockers alone! I'm sure you love yours, and they do look good.... but I have yet to see a picture of someone's Black raptor with the rockers sprayed..... It's the unknown that has me not pulling the pin.

....and now I'm thinking of spraying the skid plate..... these raptors are the most kick butt trucks out there and a blast to own.... but they sure can cause the wallet to look thin!

Here is the best I could get for a pic:

On the area above the bed extender you can see the finish is more glossy than the typical sand papaer finish of the 'normal' line-x almost more like a rhino-liner.
