Line-X cost?!?!?! Really?

[WCO]

Just got a quote for $975 to do the rocker panels on my truck......has anyone out there purchased line-x lately? Last time I did a long bed back in '04 and it was 450......is someone trying to take me?

 

[NothingClever]

Sounds like it. I could see $600 or even $700 (if that includes the bed) but that price sounds too high.

I had my 6.5' truck bed line-x'd in 2010 for $425 in Colorado Springs (Colorado is typically an expensive state).

What size truck do you have? Even if it's a long bed, the prep along the rocker panels should be easier than the bed with all the corrugations.

Ok yeah I think the guy was trying to take me. He wanted 975 for black, and another 400 on top of that for any color.....Think I need to find some one else

My long bed ford was 450 and was under the rail and no tailgate

Wow..... The vendor we use at work to spray our trucks, over rail incluing tailgate, charges $295.00. Though they will charge that price as well to spray the rockers but damn thats really high,

I had a local no named brand sprayed on my last trucks rockers, short bed reg cab, for $225.

I thought that was a good price.

Do it yourself for $120! After getting a $1000 quote from a LineX shop I did some searching to find a cheaper solution. Raptor Liner is a bed liner that SMB uses for their fiberglass tops. It doesn't fade, is thick, waterproof, tint-able, and easy to apply yourself. I did my front bumper and fiberglass top on my van. Easy prep and application. The kit comes with everything you need, including the spray gun.

I really like the way raptor liner looks!

I wonder if that price is because it is outside the box. Meaning that it is not the norm and requires extra masking, etc. They might not want to do unique jobs, so price it high to discourage them.

In the past South County in Gilroy has been the most reasonable in the area. About a year and half ago I got a quote for a long bed Xcab Dodge to do rockers in white and the bed in black and it was right about $1100. So unless you went somewhere else and/or the prices have gone way up I'd say they're HIGH.

I have been finding the same problem in the bay area...its been expensive. I have been putting off doing my bed because the line x guy in pittsburg wanted sooo frickin much. And he is the only guy around.

For the Bay area try Tracy, much better than Skip in Pittsburg.

I just had my 2011 dodge with 6 1/2 foot bed done at Line-X, cost was as follows:
Bed sprayed up to rails in black with UV inhibitor $449.00 + $200.00 for color match
Power Wagon fender flares $160.00 + $40.00 for color match
Total bill was $ 850.00

Line-x is expensive in my area as well. Since I'm just doing the inside of my bed, and that deosn't need to be real pretty, I'm going to get Rhino liner instead.

It's cheaper and things don't slide around as much because it's rubbery.

Magnet Paints Monstaliner is what I am using (sitting in the garage waiting to be applied). Almost any colour you like, roll or spray, dries like iron.

He is a vendor over on Jeep Forum, and MANY people are using this with great success. Check it out, rockers and a roller with a quart will cost you probably $30.00 and last for years.
