Explain to me what this DuPont Nason is. Is it a clear coat for coatings? Is it just for looks in beds where there isn't much use? I know on mine it had gotten pretty gritty and dull looking, however I haven't really given it a good scrub down yet. Do all Line-X dealers know about this stuff and why don't they all use it if it is as good as you say? Chris

DuPont Ful-Thane Nason is a urethane based automotive paint. Since it's urethane based, it actually bonds to LINE-X. It's glossy and won't fade. Nason is what some LINE-X dealers use for color code matched bedliners. Black Nason can be used on black bedliners also.

LINE-X corporate does not train dealers on the use of Nason. I don't know how or when Nason use was originated. Why doesn't LINE-X officially train dealers? I don't really know, I suspect that it's because Nason is not a LINE-X product. LINE-X Xtra, available in black now and hopefully in colors by the end of the year, is a LINE-X product and is supported by Corporate.

I was fortunate to have trained with a dealer who has been using Nason (with LINE-X) for years. Many of the dealers who have been around a while have learned the technique. It looks and works great.

Thanks for the word. I will have to call my local dealer and see if they know anything about it. If not maybe just the typical stuff, Thanks, Chris

Bobcat, is that the color of the finsihed produce or was it painted after it was applied? I like that, I have an Arizona Beige truck, I guess I would have to have mine painted?

That color is the finished product, it wasn't painted.
I'm pretty sure they can color match it.

you know several years back a "stone chip guard" was actually sprayed onto the Explorers in the same location, they did this on a couple of model years, but then stopped.

Did it on my van w/ LineX. Rocker panels up to the first seam in the body panel including the door sills and under and around the fenders front and back. I love it and it looks great.

I had my door sills done as well.. GOOD IDEA! My paint was all gone there from boots scuffing it off.
