    RhinoLinings... another Option

    The local Line-X guy told my friend NOT to do it, as He would not guarantee it holding to Plastic... I brought the VX with Rhinolining for him to see... No budging... My friend is looking at Rhino now [ or another Line-x Guy...]

    I will try a pic of it closer tomorrow.....

    Over the past 4 years I've probably read about at least 10-15 VXs being shot with Line-X, some Rhino, some Monstaliner…. on cladding and insert - can't recall a single one ever mentioning any problems with adhesion.
    Anybody recall?

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    I've never heard any complaints.

    We've been using LineX in a Military application for the past 7 years with no problems ... that right there says a lot!!!! 100+ systems in Iraq & Afghanistan.

    It is said all along the Intertubes, that with Line-X (or any of these types of products), prep is everything. There are supposedly a lot of places that ONLY do a chemical prep and that is not sufficient. The cladding has to be roughed up with sandpaper at the minimum (kinda makes sense). Find a dealer that's willing to do it right. I imagine there are lazy ones that only want to do bedliners, but the good ones spend a lot of their time doing industrial work, so they know how to make it stick.

    You are 100% correct.. the issue is that there are NOT to many Line-X authorized guys around...[At least around JAX]
    My cladding was done about 6 years ago or more according to the Richard P. and the Doctor who owned it and did it in TX. Is holding great for the most part but you can see a couple of places where I just did a few touches last week....
    I am happy.. not a bad look for the VX...

    Your Ebony with the red accents made me think of this one that came up for sale last fall. I like the red horizontal stripes on the door, and the rims too.
    Really like the red/black combos!

    I'm thinking that a few more body mods and I'll have it just where I want it.
