Anyone tried this?

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...

Does sound more cost effective, however I want a permanent fix for it and not one that there may be a "possibility" that I have to re-coat in a few months or even in a year. To totally encase the front, rear, and side trimmings, I was quoted at $980 if I bring the parts in and prep. However, after reading your response, I am considering spraying the belly of the beast, for mainly protection. Thanks again.......Jamie

$980 vs. $20???

I will tell you that the undersides of my flares have held up fine to about 18,000 miles and I've got Mud Grapplers, which tend to throw all kinds of crap off them. I only sprayed mine with two coats so it's about 1/2 as thick as a Line-X job. I had Line-X test spray a flare when I had my side steps done and it was a coating about 1/8" thick. I think if they 'wrapped' them with Line-X to prevent peeling you'd have issues getting them back on the truck using the original mounting holes.

Hey Dikkhead, did you not read my post?

When I had my H3 I did the front grill and hood grill in Line-X. The entire grill was encased in Line-X except the screw holes and little bracket holders.

Everything fit without a hitch. Personally I'd like to dip my whole car in Line-X
