I like it but it does have the police look like someone else said. I saw a guy in annapolis, md that did it to his H1 many years ago.

Definiately a good idea on the line-x. I have rhino on my trailer and it sucks. I also put a sample of line-x and a sample of full metal jacket and the line-x is definitely the way to go. The rhino and ful metal jacket faded terribly. The line-x stayed glossy.

We put the Kevlar topcoat on it as well, the Line-X guy said it should hold its shine very well.

Looks like you missed a few spots, I can still see some white showing.

Im a huge fan of Line-x...my 2003 grill came out awsome back when I did it, and I was at that pont considering doign other parts....but this H3 definately came out pretty damn good

Line X grille looks good on blacked out Hummer.....other than that, I think this one's over done. Looks like a law enforcement vehicle.

The more I look at the pics, I think it might look good on a black one. And definitely protects the fenders.

There's just too much contrast on this one IMO.


Done....Monday

Aggiehummer...er,

Question, did LineX say anything about how the coating would perfom on the "Plastic" Pieces????

ie, Bumper pieces, mudflaps etc?

Thanks,

Beebster

aggiehummer...er 12-19-2005 08:43 PM

I told him beforehand to not do anything he didn't think would last. He said that plastic pieces should be fine. It's his lifetime warranty on the line, so he wouldn't say something like that just to say it.

HummBebe 12-19-2005 09:22 PM

Thanks, the guy I'm working with just mentioned that they may not be able to do them. He's a new franchise owner.

Thanks for the info, can you post a pic of the back? Pretty Please?

He didn't want to do it when I first went there, but after talking to DRTY about his I just took it back and said "Do it. If it melts, too bad for me."

They used 60 grit to really rough the surface and then used a "Misting" technique for the application. It wouldn't have taken them very long, but it was their first so they were extra careful.

I also had them do the roof rails. Installed them this evening.

KenP 12-20-2005 10:19 PM

Also, here's an idea we didn't think of until it was complete. Buy the HUMMER grill letters. After the Misting step, have them apply the letters to the grill. After coating them the letters will have a nice embossed look.

Here's what ours looks like. The letters would stand out more if we'd have done it the other way.

Looks Awesome.

I won't be doing my grill.

And Yes, he did not commit. But I will follow Ken's lead on that.

Oh, and weather .........

no hail yet, but the lightning is cool. i miss those east coast thunderboomers.

the local guy here says they've had issues with it coming off in chunks, or patches, when applied to plastic. i was going to cut away some of the sides for the grill, to get more airflow, so i'll probably do a lot of the sanding myself. 60 grit is a good idea, since it's never going to be smooth again. i'll mention the "misting" technique, thanks.
