Linex cost

Hey all. I'm on my second set of Go Rhino Dominator 2 tube steps and both sets have rusted badly after less than a year. I sandblasted one set up last year and used Rustoleum Truck Bed covering on them but this winter has been brutal on them. Thinking of getting a set coated with Linex. I got one quote last fall for $500 which I thought was very high. Anyone gotten a set coated and what did it cost ya?

 

You can probably buy powder coated stainless steel for less than that.
Try summitracing.com.

 

To revive an old thread without too many replies, I just got quoted $500 to linex the exact same bars - Go Rhino Dominator D2. I find that to be a bit ridiculous given that the product itself is $400 shipped to my door. I'm sure it's rugged and that it's going to last but it seems like price gouging to me.

 

Rust bullet is so much better and DIY

 

Now I'm leaning towards just getting a few rattle cans of Iron Armor from HarborFreight. I took off the steps for the Go Rhinos and they didn't even powder coat the underside of them completely. I can see bare metal on two of four steps. Shame.

 

I just did a test spray of the Iron Armor on one of the brackets for the Go Rhino bars. I sanded with 220grit and wiped clean with mineral spirits..... Did 3 coats. Look good so far but I'll be keep to do the fingernail scratch test.

This is after one coat I think. Can't remember now. But I did 3 coats spaced 30-45 minutes in between each coat.

 

$500 does seem steep to me for steps.
Do you have more than one LineX dealer in your area for a different quote?

I'd guess more like $250-$300 for a set of steps but hey it really depends on where you live and the labor involved.

 

Try upol raptor liner, it comes tintable or black, I did my bumpers, door handles and mirrors for about 100 bucks, all in one day, a few hours to set up, after a couple days its hard as steel and water proof.

 

Yeah I think I'm going to skip LIne-x. I read about Bullet Liner......but I think for this application I'm just going to order the Upol Raptor set. I was not impressed that I was able to dig my fingernail into the Iron Armor after 3 days of curing.

Yes sir that is the plan! Thanks!

 

I did the bed of my 94 toyota 4x4 in raptor liner over my rust bullet for nuclear proof protection. Very durable and easy application.

 

What is that animated gif from??? Hilarious. Hahahahaha.

Thanks, I just hope it works with my crappy craftsman compressor. I'll look up some specs.

 

Trailer park boys

 

Nice.

Ok HarborFreight Iron Armor is officially trash. 3 days of curing and I can still scratch it with my fingernail. Wtf.

 

Its harbor break, what did u expect.

 

$4500 for whole truck

 

Is it wrong that I like this?! Looks good!

 

I used it to paint the bed drawer system I built. Has held up well for 3 yrs so far.

 

I have thought about this many times but never had the balls to do such a permanent irreversible thing.

 

Upol raptor liner would have cost about 500, and its tuff as steel

 

lol do it! This is my rambler vehicle for outdoor activities. My 4runner can stay shiny but my taco was getting a lot of scratches ect, so I thought fuck it.
