Completed Kevlar Spray 2021 Ford Raptor 37 Package

[amREADY]

If I'm being honest, I've referred to this as a "Kevlar Spray", but after a bit more research and comparison I think it's a Linex spray. I wasn't all that sure, or concered as a I had seen their finished products. I called it that, the guys at LRM called it that, maybe just to speak the same language, and we went from there. My truck bed came with a Linex spray in when I bought it and it seems to be identical.

All good. It got me off (on) my *** to look it up. There are a few grades and weights, and it looks like Linex Ultra is a finer, thinner coating. Sacrifice some durability, but minimal weight gain.

LINE-X ULTRA | LINE-X

LINE-X ULTRA is a thin build, spray-on coating that looks great and protects virtually any part of your car, truck, Jeep or SUV. LINE-X ULTRA is an ideal custom coating for rocker panels, fender flares, Jeeps, complete exteriors (LINE-X Body Armour) and other automotive uses.

My only concern, is how it’s prepped and whether it can or will flake off. I had my wheel wells done at a Linex shop and in less than a year it’s flaking off. Perhaps that’s just a much higher stree area. But the more I look at it the more I like it. And it’s pretty damn unique too. Great color.

I had the doors, hood and Snugtop line X on my gen 2 and it had zero issue. Yesterday I had the truck bed and hood line x on my gen 3……..I’m still trying to decide if I will have the doors and cap done as well. It is not only maintenance free, but because my dog jumps in and out of the window of the gen 2, the doors do not get claw marks.

Honestly I really think it has to do with the quality of the prep work and detail. On a truck as expensive as a raptor, you might as well go for the best possible quality and workmanship. My sister had her Gen 2 sprayed by a really reputable shop, and after 3 years had no flaking issues. I think you gotta find the right place, do your research, check the quality of their past work, and not let price be the major determining factor on who you go with! If you end up going with one, would love to see how it turns out!

No, and it will make you sick to watch the prep……hint, they use sandpaper

My industry sources say no. A proper application includes sanding down all painted surfaces. There would be nothing stock to go back to.

With all the different wraps today, which can be returned to stock, I wonder if there's a wrap that emulates this process?
