It will fade...I would be a bit skiddish over doing the whole rig. I would agree with others and just do the grill.

Keep in mind once you go with the bed liner you can never go back, at least not easily. I recently bought an old CJ6 that was completely linexed a year before I bought it. It was the actual brand, it wasn't a home job. Man....after a few hours with a wire wheel, and only 3/4 of the hood back to medal, I knew I was in trouble. I ended up having to have the entire jeep media blasted to get the linex off...I really think that the resale value will go down because it is an "acquired taste"

Although I wouldn't do it to my own, I think it would be cool. It would certainly affect resale, because you would have to find that person, like you, who wanted a Line X'ed Jeep. Might be kinda tough. Now if you intend on keeping it for good, to hell with resale. In the end, don't listen to us....or anybody else. It's YOUR Jeep. Do what makes YOU happy. If you do it, I wanna see pics.

On edit: There ARE companies out there now who WILL warranty the stuff FOR LIFE not to fade or crack. The fading and cracking issues were with the early Rhino Line name brand, and most of the companies now, including Rhino Line, use a reformulated mixture that does not break down to ultra violet light. I had the outside of the tailgate done on my '04 F250 and liked it. The guy said if it ever faded, they would redo it, because their stuff did NOT fade.
