Ok guys. I am trying to decide if I want to line-x my bed or not. I really like the product and have reasearched it a lot. My biggest question now is how will it look on a white truck? I currently have a bed mat and while I like it my fender wells are really taking a beating. If anyone has pics of their white truck with line-x I would love to see them to help me make my desicion.

Why would it look bad?? I think all Line-X jobs look great no matter what color. If you want it to match, why not get it tinted white?

have a 2011 white xlt crew with crome pkg. and line x (black) sprayed in. I think it looks great and it is very tuff. I would show pics but truck got towed to dealer with injector problems, sure hope to get it back soon. Any way I would not hesitate to get it in black, looks great, and better then scratched up wheel wells!

I guess I am just concerned that it might fade after a year or two and the dull (not shiny) black might not look that great. Thats kind of why I wanted to see some pics on a truck that has been used

You can get the Line-Xtra coating applied for a little more cash. This makes the liner UV stable and had a lifetime warranty against fading (I think).
My friend has a white F-150 with a black Line-X without the coating and his is a bit faded after 3 years. That is in the brutal NM sun though. He has beat the snot out of it and it still looks perfect besides the fading.

I had the same concerns on my truck. I will try to get some pics for you by the weekend. I thought about getting the bed liner the same color as the bottom (tan) of the truck. I thought it would look funny with the top of the bed having the black plastic and the king ranch plastic is way too much money for me to spend. I talked to the linex guy about white and he was quick to tell me that he would not do that if it was his truck. I ended up getting the black with the UV protection. They may still have a coupon on the website if you watch a short video. I think it was $20 off. I have only had mine for about 6 months with zero problems. I will not be able to help you with knowing if the UV protection really works because I just installed a truxedo bed cover. I would suggest black unless you have the king ranch or king ranch plastics.

yea, pics would be great. I have even googled white truck with line-s and cant get any pics. You think somewhere someone would have posed a pic of a white truck with line-x.

I ran into a local guy who had a recent MY white F350 line-x'd in black part way up both sides (a little above where my accent color line is) and both bumpers. I thought it looked great. If I see him again, I'll ask permission to grab a picture for here.

His truck looked good enough to start me thinking of eventually doing the same thing in ADOBE for my KR in a few year. If you have to drive dirty/snowy roads, I see it as a real advantage.

Get either LINE-X Xtra or LINE-X Premium, neither will fade.

I'm thinking of getting it on the rockers, fenders, and along the bed. To keep the gravel chips n rust away. I seen a black 01 with black on black that looked cool.

They want a fortune to do that. No doubt it would be tough though.

NVERL8, I have a 08 with a line-x bedliner in it. I will try to shoot pics tomorrow once its light outside. Just a couple of thoughts. I have used Line-x on the last three trucks I have had. I have used them (maybe abused). They have all faded somewhat, and I have never seen a two year old bed that was as bright as a newly sprayed one. My other thought is that I would not have one sprayed white. I built a 1971 short wide p/u. The guy who bought it from me had a spray-in tinted to match (corvette yellow). I dont know if it was linex or not, but the first time he slid something into the bed, it transferred paint from the item to the bed, which left about a thousand little dark spots on the bed where the high spots were. I would stick to black or something dark. Just a new members opinion.

Thanks for all the responses guys, i still havent decided what Im going to do. Just know I need to put something in there.....................

Here you go. The bed and sides are lined, the tailgate is the original black plastic that came with the bed step. Hope this helps.

Sorry NVERL8... I totally forgot about this post... I will try and get you a pic soon.
