I'm thinking that with a protective clear coat, it would not. I'll check with the Line-X guys and see whats available as well as a price.

Jamie, if you search around here a bit, there's at least one thread relative to Line-Xing the front grill that goes into concerns about the product's adherence to plastic. With the grill, they spray it completely to "encase" the grill with Line-X to reduce the risk of separation. If you could get them to do the same to the parts you're talking about, I imagine you might run into some re-fitment issues for those pieces that fit flush against the body panels. Another you *might* consider is that Line-X will not warranty the product on plastic. Lastly, you'd want to be certain that there is indeed a clearcoat product compatible with Line-X (I'm betting there isn't).

...and....why not just skip the Line-X and clearcoat the plastic?

I did think about that, however was unsure on how it would hold the unfaded color. Not sure if the whole thing would have to be painted then cleared. Good suggestion though, also makes sense about the adherence of the Line-X to the plastic. I was thinking of some how light sand blasting to rough the surface or a little heat (would probably screw the form up though and never look or fit right). Thanks Pete.....Jamie

Jamie there many options. Orange or another painter could give better advice but, you can buy finish quality rattle can paint and clear. Go by a paint shop price you dropping parts off with pricing on what you want done.

If you just want Line X look at other brands as Rhino and even some other. I'm very sure it will be very hard to do the Line X type without encasing the plastic if that would do any good.

I know there has been many threads on here about using Line X type stuff, be sure and search. I know a few have knowledge on this.

I used the bed coating in a 'rattle can' for the bottoms of my QPP flares...did it to prevent any paint chips from rocks on the underside since they were painted all around. It's be over a year and it's held up fine...

Two or three cans should be more than enough to put a coat or two on all of the flares and in the event you need to recoat a section you could just buy another can and respray it. Much cheaper than Line-X and, as long as the flares are free of silicone and wax, the 'Line-X in a can' should have a decent surface to bond to.

Worth a try...
