The one major issue with LineX,no matter what it will dull after some time,even with the UV coating and no matter the color.
The black Line-X all still looks great. Even the rock rails that were done a year before everything else. It's the very thin top layer of the color matched is is wearing off on the fenders and bumpers. The color matched on the doors still looks new too.

It will all fade and look like crap.
The stuff I used,granted not as robust as LineX,still shines after 8 years and holds up great.

03CDKJ over in LOST has had most of his done with Line-X for 3 or 4 years now and still looks great, he has the UV protection. It is black though so maybe colors don't hols as well?
I went by the Line-X store at lunch today. They took a look at it and scheduled an appointment to redo all the color matched for me.
The black Xtra with UV still looks perfect, including the rock rails that were done almost a year before the rest that I climb on with ski boots during the winter.

Ski boots? Where do you ski in KY?
No where in KY. I spend a couple weeks in West Virginia each winter. I also get a season pass and go to Perfect North every weekend during the winter. It's not much, but a lot better than not skiing. It's the only place I can drive to, ski all day, and drive back to Lexington. I'm going to have to move.
I'm used to the Rockies, but I've been looking for place that's drive able from FL...16 hours or so...
Sorry for the thread jack.

I'd say WV is your best bet. Snowshoe, Canaan, and Timberline are all pretty good. Not anything like being out west, but very nice for us in the south east. From where I live in Lexington, less than 6 hours to Snowshoe for an extended weekend or a nice week of skiing makes me very happy.

wow you are lucky... i asked them if they could patch some spots for me and they told me $50 and I said dude I will not come back because I want my fenders, front bumper (when I get one), lightbar, and roof rack done... they then proceeded to fix it for free, right then and there!

That's the way to do it right there.
Well, I have spent $2000 there for Line-X, and installing the sliders and brush guard. It's also pretty obvious that the extremely thin layer of Xtra that got sprayed on is way too thin and didn't bond to the lower layer of Line-X correctly. I've also sent them a lot of other work for people that liked the way my Jeep looked.

Where would one go to question about line-x? Local paint shops? Local truck shops? Any one better than the next? I'm looking to get a diggerized look.
You would go to a Line-X dealer in your area. I can recommend a place here in central KY that has incredibly good service, but in Florida, I don't know.

That's what I'm saying how would I find the dealers?

There's one on Enterprise Ave. in Naples. Little hike for you, but not bad. Just go to linex.com, and do a locator.
