So it doesn't have to be sanded down to bare metal? I wonder if he was just telling me that to make a few extra bucks knowing that I would never see under the Rhino anyways. Plus I think $250.00 per bumper is too much for what I am wanting done. I have had beds done for $375 over the rails! I would really like to do the Line-X but the closest one to me is about an hour away. I guess I could take the bumpers and drop them off then go pick them up the next day or something. Problem with that though is the way my work schedule is especially this time of year. Does the Line-X have any fading issues or do they have a protective you can buy as an add on? I just think if I spend $1500 in bumpers that they should look good for the basic life of the Jeep and if I have to spend a little money to protect my investment I think it is money well spent. If anyone has any pics of the 3 posted above please post. I would like to see the looks/textures.
no it doesn't have to be sanded down to the bare metal, that's bullshit.

I also bedlined my mopar bumpers. I used duplicolor bed liner. I gave them a good sanding then wiped them down and sprayed. I went duplicolor because it was cheap, if it gets messed up $6 and I can spray it again and being in NM now didn't know how the sun would try the coatings. After a year it was looking a bit faded so I used some back to black and they looked like new. I resently resprayed them just to add more coating (didn't need it) and after about 2 months now on issue respraying over the orginal. Have been painted for almost 2 years now no issues.

A few pics clean and new. A few pics of wheeling. If it gets really muddy I take simple green and a stiff bristled brush to the line-x and it looks like new. Everything you see in the pictures that is black and metal is line-Xed. It is worth the drive. as stated above lifetime warranty.
They only scuffed the powder coat. I think your getting hijacked about having to be bare metal.
