Who's Line-X'd the outside of their truck to help with rock chips..

[harv3589]

I was thinking of doing some line X on my truck to help prevent it from chipping from rocks.

Anyone done that and have pics?

Really interested to see chev trucks in the 07-13 range

I did the rocker panels on my jeep. Worked great. Now that I'm getting so many rock chips I'm thinking of doing the whole thing with Linex.

Have a buddy who did the rockers and wheel wells on his Silverado 2500. Truck is black and line x is black. Looks great and really cleans up the old rock chips

I have a 01 Ram I did rockers and wheel wells with linex back in o2, still look great and will handle any rocks you can throw at them.

I did the outside of a horse trailer a few years back. Not all the way but about 2' up the sides and underneath. Next truck I get will have the rocker panels line x'd in addition to the bed and bumpers. Great product!

Anyone have experience with the color matched line-x?

Want to do the rocker panels, fenders and bumpers on my Avalanche but not sure I like the thought of black line-x on my orange truck

If color match is good - may just do rockers and fenders, leave bumpers as is.


My main reason for doing it is paint chipping/flaking around all four fenders and I want to stop it from rusting/flaking any further. Really ticks me off I have paint missing above all 4 wheels on an otherwise good lucking truck.

My son just did his bumpers and rims with a product called Plasi Dip.
Goes on like spray paint - drys like line x.
It looks pretty sharp he just did his 2015 GMC Sierrra.
There's a good video on you tube showing the product.

Plasti dip is not nearly as durable as line x, not even in the same league. My buddy did his wheels with plasti dip and after a couple weeks from mud it was peeling off. Definitely more of a looks/short term solution.

I did the bottom 5" all around my truck from the body line down with Durabak. Can't even notice it's there. You can spray or roll it on and it's smooth not gritty so it looks good unlike bedliner on the body and it's cheap too, about $60 to do it myself

Hope these are ok, tough to tell 100% on my phone.

Maybe I could have shrunk the size a little. It's Line-X brand. Like I said, I am very happy with the results. The only downside is the cost, it was right around $500.00 for the bumper, and it was a new replacement in primer. I had been contemplating getting this done, had even got some pricing, when my truck was hit in the parking lot at work. There was enough damage to require the changing of the bumper panel. So when the replacement showed up, I took it to the Line-X place. With rock chips rusting the original, I would have had to have it sandblasted first. Not sure what the cost of that would have been, pretty sure I could have handled the removal and install myself though.
