LINE-X Bedliner on fenders?

[kstine98]

I am considering having my fenders covered in Line-X bed liner. Thoughts?

I had the fenders of a UTV that was covered into a mini ambulance sprayed by Line-X and it has held up amazingly. We are not running into stuff (well not intentionally) and it looks really good. If I was going to be doing a lot of wheeling then I would definitely go for it but not sure it’s worth the money for my every day driver. Just my $0.02

Interesting, post photos when completed.

I did it to my old 2000 TJ fenders that had discolored. Scuffed up the fenders and spray canned bedliner, 3 or 4 coats . Held up and looked amazing! Really looked good, not like a "homemade" job.

I saw someone on here do their fenders, some one else did their grille which looked great

I can't find the fender photo but here's the grille

quote from a local line X dealer
Premium in black @ $615 bed, $600 hardtop and $240 flares.
+ $250 more for color matched linex platinum.
+ $250 more for front grill
+ $75 mirrors

$6000 entire outside color matched in two tone.

Pretty great deal considering it would cost $2300 to get body colored stuff from the factory

I think it can look pretty good if the job isn’t half assed. I used to not thing much of Jeeps that were line-x’ed but after seeing some really solid jobs, i’ve come around on them.

Thanks for all of the feedback. This makes me feel good about getting this done, especially if I can get gator color.

I assume that is $250 per fender?

Line-X'ing the fenders is very common here in Las Vegas. Every trail causes "desert pinstriping", thin scratches down the sides of your vehicle from all the razor-sharp plants that hang into the trails. All the local off-road Jeep owners get their fenders Line-X'd to protect against it. Once they're eventually scratched up they just get another thin coat added. Much easier and cheaper than replacing the black fenders every few years due to all the scratches or re-painting the color fenders every few years

Later I may be interested in Line-X plastic fenders. Found this video how to remove the fender liners and fenders on a JT (same method for JL). I like this technique the best because it does not damage any of the retaining clips, especially the white clips that fasten the fender to the Jeep body,. As of now these clips aren't sold separately and only come with the fenders, so you don't want to damage the white clips if you want to reinstall the fenders. Other techniques I've seen the fender are just pulled off the Jeep hoping not to damage the white clips.

Turn the sound down.

Anyone look into Raptor coating bed liner? It’s a DIY Line-X type stuff. Thinking about doing my own bed with it. Hate paying for stuff that I can do myself.
