I was told by the local LINE-X guy here in Portland that the LINE-X doesn't stick that well to plastic.
He said there is a "base" or "primer" for a plastic application but, it doesn't work that well.
I have no idea if that is true or just his opinion etc....

I heard the same thing... I called about the cladding and they thought it would not stick good enough and the heat of the line x would be iffy on the poly.

I am pretty sure that Tomdietrying did his front cladding and some of his hood. I think the hood was the part that started to bubble.

There ought to be something to beat the cracking problem, even if it's not LineX. I had the engine cover and a few other engine bay trim pieces painted on my previous car and the body shop primed, painted, clearcoated, and then sealed the plastic with some 3M high-temp resistant coating. The body shop normally warranties their work for a year, but in this case they were so sure of the product that they actually guaranteed me the paint would never fade or crack.
I'll have to do some research on what they used...

Looks good. Love the contrast. If only that worked on an Ebony!
