Phillip- I want to use rattleguard or something we can do at home, but I can't talk my husband out of Line-x. I just wanted to save some money...you are the first guy I have heard bad thing about line-x from. I went to the line-x dealer in Olympia and they told me they wouldn't do the truck until I had it sandblasted, but I can't get it sandblasted since the paint is so new. (I think sandblasting would scratch up that new paint no matter how careful they were) Then Ken (my hubby) went to a line-x place about 30 miles away and they said they could do it w/out sandblasting so he wants to take it there. I am a little worried it won't last and these guys aren't doing right they just want the $$! I will keep working on him and show him your post. Sorry so long winded!
