Line-X OEM roof rack and plastic accents

[Jlaughtr]

So I upgraded my wheels and tires to black. My stock roof rack is fading and sun stripped in areas. I'm thinking about doing a Flat black Line-X on the roof rack and all the plastic trim that is now a faded grey. the side accents and the bumper accents. Anyone have any experience or thoughts?

I would be interested also but not if you have to remove all those pieces.If it can be done with everything left on i would be in.

Noice truck. What are your suspension and wheel /tire specs?

I think the idea is awesome but you may want to check out raptor liner. It might be better stuff. Most people know line-x and rhino simply because of marketing or a friend got it on their truck...................because of marketing!

nice truck. rare bermuda blue.

i actually painted a whole truck before with Line-X / Rhino Liner and even done colored (tintable) liner on Truck Beds.
As with anything being painted, as long as your surface has been properly prepped and cleaned and scuffed the product will adhere and last for a very long time. I was spraying through a gun and a decent compressor.
Yours should be easier since it is faily easy to remove the roof rack and those pieces and just do them one by one without having to tape off your vehicle.

I got my stuff from an Auto Paint shop but i believe they sell stuff at AutoZone and OReillys that will do the deed including roll-on applications.

In other words, yes you can and it should be fairly easy

Here's my truck bed i sprayed.



and Here is my buddy's work truck. Painted the whole thing with it

Have a look at @Cattivo's build thread. He sprayed his entire truck with Herculiner. Just as another option to consider, but then again @Sevenevez knows his paint too. Look at that newly painted Denali!

I know line-X would probably remove everything to spray it and that would factor into price.

Yea I don't see too many of the Bermuda Blue around. I love the color. Your stuff looks good! I need to figure out if I want to do it my self or just have it done. Thanks for the info
