    I have a few Q's...Next week I'm making an appointment for spraying Linex to the cladding pieces (black/glossy/uv)...

    Is this more common than not? I was just going to take the pieces to them and have them do their thing. I brought it to their attention but they said that the technician will know if there is enough clearance. But do you think I need to actually shave the cladding???



    Also... I LOVED THIS IDEA!!!

    If I tape/glue these on prior to spraying, they will result in an upraised pattern in the LineX. That way, I can take tan paint and do the face of the letters on the black cladding and vice versa or whatever color I choose. I think the red will go back on the hood Red on tan will POP!!
    I'm thinking of maybe having a 3d Vehicross emblem that just says "VehiCross" (like on the pillar) on each door cladding and maybe a small Isuzu Arrow on the moon piece...

    HMMMMMM... love this idea!!

    I didn't bother trimming, they said they can thin out the spray at the edges, I will cross that road when the time comes, and I don't plan on worrying too muc about the body clips, so I have some wiggle room.
    As for the door cladding, not a whole lot of area to fit an emblem, nothing flat enough. I ended up scrapping that idea and went with the factory 3.5l spot and placed old school ISUZU emblems there.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    On a side note, Jo talked to me about his LineX job a while ago, but asked me to keep it a secret pending the Moab unveil. Funny thing, I thought I was super clever coming up with the decal idea and using Jason, turns out, Jo had already thought of that idea, completely independent of one another...damned clever VX owners
