So first Ill get the weight and mileage out of the way.
Yeah easily 300 lbs to the vehicle. The vehicle: beat to sh it gmc yukon gt that I'm going to kind of throw back together. Has rust im going to have remove and don't feel like having it cheaply repainted where it'll fade in a year. Has the price on this gone down at all? Hoping to spend no more than $1500 for the process. I want to do it so if rust does appear again, i have that panel section removed, get a new one from the junkyard and just rhino line it to match instead of having two different shades of paint. Yeah maybe a little pricy but hoping that its gone down to something more affordable. ......and the purpose of this post: what is everyone's experience on fade-resistant brands. Oh and black in color. Deepest black possible. |

I don't think $1500 will touch it. I was quoted $1500 for rockerpanels.

I did it to a truck. I wouldn't do it again. Once you put it on, there's no changing anything about it. With paint, you can always repaint it.

I got an estimate last year of $3,000 plus tax. For my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT. I'm still considering it. It takes a almost a week to get it done.

I bet it doesn't weigh as much as you think. A buddy weighed all the platidip that was peeled off an entire car and I think he said it didn't even weigh a pound.

When I had it done the LineX dealer estimated it would add 3-400 lbs. You can really tell the extra weight when you lift the hood. I didn't weight the hood before and after but I'd estimate it added 15 lbs to the hood....maybe a little more. |

I did my whole truck myself with Raptor liner. Added under 20 pounds, no noticeable change in MPG except the truck is a lot quieter now. It's going on a year in Texas full sun all the time with no noticeable fade. This was 2 kits worth, so under $300 in supplies from amazon and HD. My FIL used to paint cars, so he taught me how to tape it off, which is the biggest pain in the ass. Especially since I decided to do more coats a month later when I should have done it all in one weekend. THat's the part that takes forever. I would NOT do it to a new truck or really nice paint. But it's 10 years old and the clear coat was already peeling. when I go to add new parts or whatever, I can line them to match and move on. it has been dent and rock resistant, and I have not scratched it, even stabbing it with a knife to show off at work. I have also not washed the truck since I did this. |

Did you spray the door jambs as well?

Based on a quick search of Line-X dealer sites, it appears to weigh .7 lbs per square foot @ 1/8" thick. If that's the case, just a 6'x4' section of the bed's floor would weigh in at over 17#. Again, quite bit heavier than the 5# you claimed above. According to the dealer/installer sites I found, a Line-X bedliner adds 40-60 lbs...and that's just the bed. I've used the DIY (Rustoleum) stuff and it's nowhere near as thick as the liner in my truck, so I'm sure it weighs quite a bit less...but I'd still expect it to weigh q good bit more than 5# if one used enough to completely cover a car/truck with any expectation of durability and longevity. |

Remember that a good bit of the product weight will evaporate due to chemical reactions with hardeners and evaporation of water/solvent.
@steviesterno16 Can you explain how you masked the door openings/interior door faces/wiring passages? |

If I was doing a dedicated trail ride I'd want it stripped down as far as possible, pull the interior, and do the floor and stuff, too. I would do the frame and undersides if I didn't live in salt-free TX. |

Oh yeah? You weighed a truck before and after then, post your results. If you really think it adds hundreds of pounds, you're wrong. You would need a forklift to pick up a gallon of it if that was the case. Just listen to simple logic. |

A well thought out rebuttal, hot damn! I find 40-60# just for the bed to be hard to believe but they know there product better than I do. I was going to hit on the solvent evaporation thing but was beat too it. I bet at least 50% of the product is solvent, I don't know this but I bet it to be (I have years upon years of paint experience). To get 300# of extra weight you would have to apply 600#+ of product. Does this seem realistic to anyone or is it lighter than some people think? LineX is a VERY thick coat compared to paint or even primer. I have no idea how much is solvent and how much is solids but LineX wouldn't work if it had a high level of solvents. It HAS to have a high level of solids. A typical LineX bedliner alone uses about 5 gallons of material. |
