Default Rhino Liner, Line-X or ? for Bumpers??

OK
I am going to end having my new front and rear bumper sprayed
with one of these.
I am also getting shrockworks rockers (they will help my GF
get into the Jeep and work great IF I ever did need them but
they are more for a step and looks).

I am looking and both have a "Tougher" version now.

Line-X Xtra has DuPont Kevlar added into it.

Rhino now has the Hard Line

I am going to do the bumpers in black and the Rockers in a gray to match the AEV wheels I have. I am also going to have them add the texture on the Rockers for when it rains and my GF uses them as a step.

I am leaning towards the Rhino Hard Line.

Any other brands I should look at or is there anyone with experience with the Rhino?

Thanks!

Having sprayed rhino, husky, and line x, it depends on what you're going for.

Rhino and husky are the same material, can be sprayed on thick, and with withstand pretty much anything.

Linex has a prettier finish to it, with a more even texture.

Green Machine.
Whoever told you that you cant do it doesnt know what they are talking about.
People have been doing it to Jeeps for EONS!
Go find another dealer ASAP!!!!

I am sorta leaning toward the new Rhino lining BUT may go with the new LineX

I just need to ensure the LineX can add a grit for texture on the rockers.

If you are set on one of these products I understand. To me they are too expensive and I am gonna choose an alternative. I have been a big fan/user of POR-15 products over the years and they have a coating called "hardnose". Check out their website if you are interested in an alternative. You can get a lot of different colors also. Here it is.

Of course you'll have to add the www thing.

I followed Kntr, and went with the Line-X route. Just make certain if you go with Line-X to get the extra UV protectant sprayed on.

Looks great!
Thanks for the replies.

How is it in the rain, does it get slick?

As I said I am going to run it on my Rockers so they can be used
as steps and just wondering if I really need to get the grit added
in.

KNTR - that looks awesome... love the grille - it's matched perfect!

Here's a question - will either the Rhino or Linex stick and hold to plastic?
i have the stock steps - and really want it sprayed on.

Please help
