New Paint

RWG Automotive did lots of work on my VX including the paint. They are known for taking care of show cars, custom jobs and maticulous work ethics and workmanship. They are not the cheapest in town, but you can't expect them to be with such PREMIUM work. I wanted the best and this is who I use. One thing I've learned is their website does NOT do them justice. I'm sure one day it will be revamped, but one thing is for sure when you go to their facility you know they take their job seriously and professionally. I HIGHLY recommend anyone to use them for ANY type of body work, custom work, welding work, mechanical work. They are the first I go to. I'm not sure where I would be without them. They performed the following work (and other work that will be shown later). I cannot stress enough...

RWG AUTOMOTIVE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST ANYWHERE NEAR LOUISVILLE, HANDS DOWN, BAR NONE...PERIOD!

Everyone that sees my VX and has a problem down the road with their own car, they always ask me... "hey what's the name of that place that did your truck?"...

Prep Cladding for Linex

- Clean cladding and remove 3M tape and adhesive
- A few of the "Support Arms" on the backside of the cladding broke off during detachment. Using PC7 Epoxy I repaired not only the broken arms, but I reinforced every single support arm on every piece of cladding to make everything stronger and to add additional support for the extra weight from Linex
- Isuzu used small pieces of weather strip at the screw holes on the cladding. I decided to remove those and go down the whole side with new weather stripping. It has a much better seal and is uniform. I decided to NOT replace 3M Tape on any of the cladding pieces except for the tailgate and the rear portion of the Rear Left cladding and Rear Right cladding. Everything else instead is using the weather strip (Camper Seal Foam Tape 3/16' x 1 1/4", description: prevents drafts, noise and vibrations)
- Sent all pieces off to Chris at LineX of Louisville (now owned by Jordan)

3D Logos by Jason Mooney (jasonm621 on the forum...one of the best vx enthusiasts)

- I wanted an "embossed look" so I asked Jason (ie the 3d and led man) to help. Using his 3D printer, he made special VX logos that I glued onto specific cladding parts before sending to LineX. The results are AMAAAAZING! This is by far one of my favorite mods!!! He also made me some proton yellow knobs for the tire cover, flaps for the roof racks and a custom keychain! We are now working on a new project (I can't talk about atm) which is going to be amaaazing when he's finished! KUDDOS TO JASON!!
