Looks great, but... the first time you catch it on rocks it's going to gouge a chunk out and possibly tear off a decent section unless it was thoroughly cleaned and primed before shooting it with Line-X. Ebven then, it's still very susceptible to tearing.

I cleaned, primed and shot mine with an industrial enamel that I bought at HomeDepot. I've slid it across gravel piles, sand dunes and gravel covered snow banks and it's none the worse for wear.

That was a great idea shooting it with the bolts in place.

I crawled under my rig and sprayed it with Rustoleom High Heat BBQ paint.

It got pretty scratched up this weekend, but thanks to the left over contents in the orginal can, it's going to take me a hole minute to repair.

Cheap and Effective.

I did some serious scuffing with 80 grit sandpaper first & they used the Line-X cleaner on it; they were spraying someone’s bed liner and didn’t even charge me for it ( they do all my detailing so they get enough $ from me) so I figured it was worth a try. I am just going to buy a cheap spray can of bed liner for touchups.

FrgMstr, Do you by chance have a pic of your drivers side front floor mat. I had some of the husky's once but that lip gave me problems, just want to see the coverage and lip hight in an H2.

Did I see you looking for factory rim(s)?

Line-x comes right off. A friend of mine had his rock rails sprayed with it and it all tore off in sections. It looks good though (for a while http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif)

And also, I checked into getting my rocker bars and brushguard done, and some other stuff and none of the Rhino or LineX guys suggested it if I actually used my truck off road.

If you are going for looks alone, they said that even then on a nonflat surface it would likely peel sooner or later.
