Color matched Line-X pics...opinions?




I've sprayed black in the last four trucks, but thought it was time for a change....what do you think?

Look good. I wanted tan in my Lariat, but the installer was going to charge a 100 extra.

Hey...my local guy waived the $100 upcharge, with the understanding he can have guys call to sing his praise....lol. He took pics to include in his album.

On another subject....there are still small gaps in the seams of the bed. It's going to be tough to "seal" out the dust with the tonneau cover down. Even with the tailgate seal installed. Does everyone have the same gaps?

They did a great job matching the color. I like it. Was it LineX?

Thanks for the compliments....pretty close match...and yes, LineX brand. Life time warranty, and not suppose to fade. Between trading every 2-3 years and having a tonneau....shouldn't have an issue with any fading. My biggest complaint (with Ford) is the gapping between bed panels. There's several places where you could slide a playing card through. It's going to be hard to keep the dust out....8 miles of gravel driving daily.

Mine had gaps too (up both sides and in the front of the bed). All the gaps are now sealed up after I had LineX sprayed in.

The gaps are made that way on purpose to drain water and not rust out the bed.

This is the first time I have heard truck owners afraid of getting dust in their beds... new time for everything.

Bed liner looks great. I wouldn't worry about the dust.

Don't mean to sound like a girl in regards to the dust. But I drive a lot gravel roads, and it's frustrating to have to dust off golf clubs, and the kids' sports gear when we get to the game. With the tonneau down, it's like you've captured a cloud when you open up the tailgate.

You could always use a bead of silicon aroud the seams to block out the dust if you find it necessary.
