Monstaliner Cladding installation

[eternal21]

Well, Monstaliner is $134/gallon on eBay right now w/free shipping, so I figured now is as good a time as any to knock out the cladding before it gets too, too hot, so I snagged a gallon. It'll be in sometime this week, so I just need to know which Bulldog adhesion promoter to use, as it comes in aerosol and brush on. I'm going to try and get it done this week, provided it comes in in time. Although Aerospace 303 is excellent for taking care of the cladding, we've been getting a bit more rain than usual, and I'm tired of the cladding looking crappy after the rain washes the 303 off. Time to do it right and cry once.

It looks good fo sho!

I haven't heard of or seen the Monsterliner stuff...house, can you take some closer up pics? It looks like it's less textured that Line-X and Rhinoliner, but I can't tell.

We VX owners have very strange gift wish lists lol!

....yup...got a alum radiator for xmas!

When I was touching up my cladding with ShowRoom New (where the fab shop scraped it up )...I got to thinking...I haven't put a thing on my cladding.....nothing, zip, zero, nada.....in 14 months...and it looks exactly the same. Only an occasional car wash with the cheapest option so no wax or whatever they call that carpy stuff they "spray on" and flash cool neon lights at ya. I'll have to take some pics and update that thread.

Check post #3 for the link to the Jeep page containing pics, info, etc. Over 1/4 million page views and tons of people using it. Yes, it is textured. Some images I borrowed from the Jeep folks....

But ya gotta admit diamond tread plate sill plates in purple Monstaliner woulda looked really kool!!!


Thanks for posting the pics eternal, that's a really cool texture. I def like it better than the rougher ones like Line-X. Hope yours works out great too.

They have Purple People Eater as a color choice....

Hey,

As an update, the Monstaliner seems to be doing great, but there is one caveat...

once applied, this stuff may be a little brittle. I have a spot on the passenger side cladding where it looks like someone hit my door with theirs, and a chunk of the monstaliner came off. Not a big deal, but I will have to order a pint of the stuff to re do it.

I will try to get my car washed and get some close up pics as requested this weekend.
