    So the bed of my truck was Line xed a while ago and now after the sun has gotten to it, its faded. Is there a way to darken it up again, maybe some tremclad paint. Anyone tried that befor.

    I thought LineX came with a lifetime warranty for things like fading? Have you contacted the local LineX dealer to see if they will fix it?

    I bought the truck used so to be honest I dont even know that it is Line ex or some other company. Its held up well, it just doesnt look black any more, more like brown.
