I think that looks good and will probably be very durable.
Who did the pigmented line-x work?

Line-x does color-matching at some of their shops now.

Nice match. How can you be sure next time you do a nose dive that it doesn't peel off though? Jamie

Did they spray the xtra over the line-x or just can you just spray the xtra?

yes that's correct. I gave them my color code (located on the vehicle) and they did the rest. The undercoating is a dark blue and the next coat is pretty much perfect color match.
I went to this shop:
Line-X Kustoms & Accesories
3265 E. 18th Street
Antioch, CA 94509
Phone: (925) 754-5180
Skip did it and he did an awesome job.
To answer quesions about durability.... I didn't get line-x so I can plow through anything, I got it because
1. it covered up all the paint scratches (just like a new paint job)
2. makes it more durable. If you offroad like a lot of us do then you know that your truck fenders make contact with a lot of branches.
Also... worst case senerio: if the line-x does get damaged, it can be repaired. As long as the fenders retain their shape it's all good. If you want to fix your painted fenders, you will most likley have to buy a new fender and get it painted to match.

Were the fenders removed before they were brought to the shop to be sprayed or did you bring the truck to the shop and let them handle it...

That's the bomb! If I may ask, how much $ did it set you back. I seriously want to have my fenders done. After only a few weeks after buying my H3, the rear fenders already had some chips from driving on gravel roads. I installed mud flaps for highway driving, but I think the Line-X is a far better solution.:jump:

With the help and direction of Hummbebe, H2 Bully and I took off the fenders and then drove them to the Line-X shop. It was $250 out the door.

Looks good! The color match is perfect. I think going with a darker blue would be cool too.
I wonder how it looks when blue peels off. :giggling:

With the help and direction of Hummbebe, H2 Bully and I took off the fenders and then drove them to the Line-X shop. It was $250 out the door.
I just came from my local Line-X shop. The owner has never done fenders before, but he has done rocker panels. Can you belive that he wants $750-850 for the job?!?:rant: He says that it would be $250 just for the paint to match my boulder gray H3. He would like the info for the shop that did Bully's so I will forward that to him. Maybe he will tell him that he is way out of line with his estimate. I asked about getting the grille done Line-X black, but he said he couldn't do it, which I know is bull, 'cause I've seen plenty of others in this forum with the blacked-out grille. Should I try another Line-X dealer?

If there's another dealer in your area that does the color-match, then tell this guy to :fdance: . They charge by the "click" so ask how many he thinks it would take. If Bully has his receipt it should say on there how many it took. And if they don't think it can be done, show them the pictures from on here. When I got my grill done, they said the same thing until I explained I'd seen it done at least a half dozen times. If they wrap the coating around the backside of the grill it will stick just fine.
