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!
