Line-X/Rhino Liner Exterior

[Mike Evans]

Does anyone have any experience with having the exterior of your truck sprayed in Line-X or Rhino Liner? I had a couple questions.

1. What was the ballpark cost of it?
2. What’s the added weight?
3. How do you like it? Pros? Cons?

I used a product called scorpion on both bumpers and my hood, love the look, I don’t think I’ll do too much after, possible body line, did it to protect from the rock gouges and rust spots I had over the last few years

The weight thing is funny it's like a gallon and a half maybe.. Probably less than 7 pounds dry.

I know it’s not a Ram.....it’s my baby Ram lol...but I did this a few weeks ago after a lot of research!

I used raptor liner, I ordered off of amazon. I used 8 liters for the black, and 7 liters for the green. For the tintable stuff I just went to a local paint shop and bought the color I wanted (it came out ever so slightly lighter than what I was going for) I found out that sanding the bed sucks! And I am not the beat at taping lol but overall it was easy going just time consuming.

Weight added...maybe 5-10 lbs. I love how it no longer scratches, repels dents, and actually helps with sound deadening (I did wheel wells also) I did 3 coats of each color in some areas I went a little thicker for more protection.

Total cost was right at 700 and around a week off and on working to get it done (you could do it in 3 days if you stay at it)

*******there are a couple spots where you can see the paint is a little darker (like on the door) that’s where I ddI some touch up with a spray paint and it’s slightly darker...the camera picks it up way more than you can tell in person. I made the decals out of reflective material (thought it was cool) haha.....this is my play truck / hunting truck / every day driver to keep miles off my 2018 Ram

I did it for two main reasons
1) I wanted to have something that would repel scratches
2) I wanted to test my skills because I want to do a same color job to my 2018

Would I do it again? Absolutely! Was it worth it? IMO absolutely

Hope this helps

That looks awesome. I have been thinking about using Raptor Liner on my truck for a while now. Haven't had the gumption to take sandpaper to my paint.
