Line-x for exterior paint

[Sazabi19]

You would be cheaper and better off just getting it wrapped

Lol, since when do Jeep owners do the "better off" thing or the "sensible" thing? :P

Sounds like it. I'd love to do a matte OD green or matte black.

I'd take a hard look at the dupont kevlar for what you mean. and about the 17k sticker markup... normally I agree with dealer stuff but thats at least 8-10k in a linex job

For those looking into wraps. XPEL and its competitors makes a "stealth" wrap which is basically just a matted clear wrap. It doesn't have the rough texture of the bedliner spray but has a nice look to it. Since its just a "clear wrap" you need to be careful with using a powerwasher and aggressive carwashes as it can tear/damage the wrap or and agressive wash can cause water to get up behind the ends and lift it up. A good installer will help to reduce the risks of the later.

Someone makes wrap they looks like bedliner, not sure who it is but there's a company close to me that does it. A couple guys with trucks and a few wranglers around my area has it done on theirs. It looks and feels just like bedliner on the vehicles.

Does anyone have any experience with Line-X paint or a similar product for the gladiator?

I’ve had one done years ago when I rebuilt a YJ. Looks awesome, easy to clean, downfall you’ll need a new W/S about every other month. Anything on the road from the car in front of you or you throw up bounces. I think I put in 4 or 5 in 8 months. Just for reference I’ve put in 1 w/s total over the years in my other cars.

I just saw a Gladiator with a similar green line-x as in post #17 in this thread. It looked great! It was on 37s with some nice after-market bumpers and fender flares. Sorry - no pics. Don't want to hijack - but does anyone know who makes bumpers & fender flares with a compass rose for the logo?

This seems like an excellent article on the pros and cons of kevlar paint. Its a must read if you are considering it:
