    I need to buy the rear passenger piece since sometime decided to key me under the gas cap. Grrrrrrr

    I suppose it was a gas consuming SUV comment....

    Question LINE X

    HAS ANYBODY USED A TRUCK LINING (LINE-X) TOUCH UP SPRAY TO REPAIR GOUGES OR DEEP SCATCHES ON ORIGINAL CLADDING?

    i have had my car line X , Im the one with the blue line X. This is not sold in stores and has to be profesionaly applied. The whole car including hood insert would cost around 400 -500. if you get the color there is only one place that does it in the hamptons. The problem with the colored is that he cant match colors if you need a touch up. But i had painted mine to match the rest and no problems, its actualy easy and will stick to the line x ( which is pretty much plastic ). this stuff is really strong and almost imposible to scratch. check out there website. http://www.linexcorp.com/

    This stuff is even bomb resistant!

    you can see some picks of mine here http://club.vmag.com/ubb/Forum39/HTML/003806.html

    body caldding repair

    got this reply today from urethane supply company (has website www.urethanesupply)
    contact: scott bixler 800/633-3047
    1. clean with 100-a super clean ($6.50)
    2. fill gouges (after sanding) with 2020-t hard set filler ($22.95)
    3. paint with bumper and cladding coat (3518-8 honda black- $32.95 /pint) one pint o.k. if you don't spray too heavy- if you don't have a sprayer use a preval sprayer ($12.95) + 2 cartridges
    total w/sprayer/catridges under $100.
    or if you don't want to do entire car:
    1. use the filler and conceal repair with bumper and trim black. (which will not match cladding color as well so may have to apply to all cladding)

    I would like to add that the reason I replaced my passenger side rear cladding is becasue prior to my onwership someone had re-painted it with this cladding repair CRAP!!!! It was not a good match and therefore had to be oversprayed onto other pieces of cladding. It eventually started to peel, and I had to replace the whole piece. The other bad thing is they had to paint the marker light also, so that got replaced too. Its a little off in color..... Our cladding is almost a true black. The stuff you speak of is NOT!!! Beware!!! There's nothing like factory replacement parts!!! OR Line-X!!!

    dear clint

    O.K. Mr. Eastwood. So I (PUNK) didn't realize how serious this stuff really is- But fixing some scratches on my cladding would really make my day! Anybody with a less sensitive side/biceps want to respond? Sense of humor O.K!

    Anyone know a good way to get tar off of the cladding? I don't know what I drove through, but this stuff is all over the lower part of my driver door. I have tried everything from gunk to the castrol cleaner and nothing seems to take it off. Ever brake clean won't touch it. Any ideas? This is on the section under the kick plate and right behind the drivers wheel also. I am almost to the point of replacing it. I wonder if my zano clay bar would touch it? That's about the only thing I haven't tried. Thanks in advance.

    I never meant to be the all knowing, and I will never be the all knowing. Just simply giving my experience which is what this forum is primarily based on. Take it or leave it!! No need for rude or snide comments. This is my first time in 2 years on this forum and V-mag that I have had someone comment on my post negatively. I got defensive, and then deleted the post. My apologies for seemingly sounding rude and smarassey. I guess there is a first time for everything.:sighr2:

    Thanks Cptnmorgan - I for one thought your post was informative and I am glad you told at least me about it. That would be an expensive mistake to make if you didn't know before hand.

    back to the subject

    Has anybody used a black "filler" to repair gouges on cladding- was able to "rub out" some of the damage - it looks respectable with a big dose of mothers- but would look even better filling in a few of the deeper spots with a filler that gets close to the VX clad color so it's not necessary to apply anything on top of it (other than mother's or just once) that may not match or will damage cladding.
    Again- call me cheap but I don't want/need to redo all cladding, replace a panel or apply line-x. ANY ATTEMPT APPRECIATED!
