Line-X cart?

[traperguy84]

Hello.

Pretty simple question here. Has anyone ever Line-X'd a cart and if so how'd it turn out? Obviously not many carts with steel bodies so I've never seen it done. I see that line-x can now make any color you want. I was thinking to go with a gecko green (jeep color), black wheels, and green LED marker/Tail lighting on the cart.

I need to get some minor body work done, along with everything sand blasted and prepped.


Any thoughts?

What kind of drive does it have [ele or gas]? I like the open air look.

Its electric, debating on staying electric or maybe going with a diesel somehow.

That thing is cool!

Line-x, that's bed liner right?

I just recently did the spray on Raptor bed liner. If you want to hear my opinion on it, let me know. It can be tinted to any color you want as well.

Yes, Line-X is a spray on Bed liner.

Would love to hear your thoughts, I've never heard of that brand. Did you do it yourself?

It's made by Upol, I believe it's a European company. It is made more for the DIYer which makes it nice for saving coin! You can spray it or brush/roll it.

I did do it myself. I decided to spray it. Almost all of the bed liner "paint jobs" I have seen where they rolled it, you can see the roller marks. The kit I bought came with an appropriate spray gun for bed liner "paints". You do need an air compressor, with appropriate volume.

I got the 4 bottle kit with the spray gun. I actually ended up using a paint brush on the inside of the body, because I was an idiot and didn't have the gun set right. It only took one bottle to paint the interior of both body panels.

It took the other three to get good coverage on the exterior of the body. I couldn't get a "finer" texture even with playing with the pressure, gun setting and distance. It ended up being a bit heavier of a texture than I had planned on, but I think it looks good.

From the research I did, adhesion promoter is a must for plastic and/or fiberglass. Upol has that as well, although I used some stuff I got at the local auto parts store. I bought mine on Amazon for about $100. There are different packages to choose from. I just went with the black, so I don't know how much the tinted stuff would be, then you would have added cost of the tint.


If you search on YouTube, there are plenty of videos of people doing their entire jeeps, trucks and other vehicles.

Here is a picture to give you an idea what it looks like. The Raptor liner is only sprayed on the body panels.
