    So I've had fiberglass fenders and bedsides for a while now and I'm getting super bored of the white.
    I really want to color match to MGM but I'm afraid of spending thousands on a paint job just for the glass to crack, and there goes my money.

    Vinyl wrap is another option but I feel like my fiberglass has too many imperfections for that to work.

    Line x is probably the best bet, since it's strong. Only thing is I have no idea how a grey truck with black fenders would look like

    What would you do?

    I think your best bet is the wrap. You can use a glazing compound and smooth out the imperfections before the wrap. LineX looks kind of ghetto unless you do the whole truck. I have seen a couple trucks with it at SEMA but I bet they paid as much for that as a good paint job. Good luck!
