    Thumbs up

    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

    Smile cladding fading

    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.

    Price..300.00

    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.

    A lot of paint shops around my town have started to do it. When I was in the market for it, I called my favorite body shop and asked them, and they directed me to the one they out source too.
