Hit by a Krispy Kreame Truck! "getting new rhino sprayed cladding"

[Triathlete]

The Line-x'd cladding I have seen looked good and seemed to hold up much better than the stock cladding. The Line-x is harder than the plastic and does not scratch! If properly applied will last as long as your VX plus no more "detailing" the cladding...just hose it off!

Also if the current cladding has any dents in it they can easily be fixed prior to line-xing by cafefully using a blow dryer to heat it up and popping the dent out from the inside.

Actually My VX is a 99 Ironman so my cladding is faded pretty bad,i was lookin at pictures when i got it and it looked"cladding" almost black!..now its a light gray...i was thinking about doing the linx or rhino thing any way, /thanks for the info... i have 1 or 2 spots that will need heating, the linx guy well actually he was "ultralinnings" claims his is a better mix of polyulthane and will last longer and not fad as bad..over all, im not interested in color as i like the basis black that it comes out natrually, this will make the white stand out better!

FYI

Mine is a 99' with greyish cladding (when not shined with the latest product of the month!) as well, and the parts still matched when replaced.

After a wash and shine up, parts where identical in color and after a few weeks and some rain, all parts still matched

Vehix...sounds like you live in a very well shaded area! ,My has faded at least 3 or 4 shades lighter,...The cladding is made of polypropylene which is one of the worst polymers to fad under UV light... you musta had a good batch with yours!..
ooo... and the doughnut guy did offer me a free box!!!

I have my entire Jeep Wrangler Sprayed in Line-X and it has held up very well. It is a bit tedious to clean as dust and dirt get in the pits. but other then that. They had to take a high grit sander to the body so it would stick to the body, so they may do the same to the cladding. I would love to see pictures sometime.

I will be sure and leave feedback on any issues i may have when this is done, also will post some pictures..will be couple of weeks until body shop has parts and i have the current cladding took off.

The Insurance Co paid out $585.00 for rhino spraying..The guy spraying mine,"ultralinning" said he would do it for $300.00. if i would have the cladding took off by the body shop...which is taking off 4 parts any way to replace, have not done the math on labor for removing the rest of the cladding but i would say it would come out close to the amount the Insurance Co allowed.
