Re: Better Hail Protection Reply #25 – May 21, 2016, 05:47:03 am I had my Jeep done all around with the Linex. I am really pleased with the result. The Linex retains its shine, cleans easily and really protects from rock chips while towing. I went to the top of the rocker panels, around all sides and across the middle of the hood. I think if I did it again, I'd go to the window line all around.Don't have a picture handy,Rich Quote Selected
Re: Better Hail Protection Reply #26 – May 21, 2016, 09:08:34 am Richard, It is good that the newer panels survived. They are pretty exposed sitting almost flat on the roof. They must have a polycarbonate plastic cover on them or something like that. They use polycarbonate on greenhouse roofs. This will be a good question to ask when (if) I do something with solar. I have six 22"x60" glass skylights in my shop. We have had small (grape sized) hail here before and no problem. Quote Selected

I went to their website - lots of great photos in different applications.LINE-X Sprayon Bedliners, Protective Coatings, Truck Bed Coating, Floor...Gets me thinking about several possible uses on the coach. Wonder how one of their products would work as a roof coating. They have several colors, plus clear, and they can add non-slip material to the coatings. Hmmmm.... Cost would be a BIG consideration, of course.Is the stuff on your jeep a smooth surface, or kinda 'textured". Clear, or colored? Quote Selected
Re: Better Hail Protection Reply #28 – May 21, 2016, 09:33:40 am I had my pickup bed sprayed with Line-X fifteen years ago and it still looks like the day it was sprayed, but for a bit of matting from the sun. Line-X was my choice over Rhino Liner because it's not as pebbly.Clear on the front of the coach? Quote Selected
Re: Better Hail Protection Reply #29 – May 21, 2016, 03:50:11 pm Mine is done in black a has a little texture. It has a nice shine to it when dry and cleans easily. The Rhino-liner I used on my pickup bed was rougher and much less shiny. It also faded badly over the years.The Line-X was also about half on the install price.Rich Quote Selected
Re: Better Hail Protection Reply #30 – May 21, 2016, 05:33:21 pm I don't think any of the spray on bed liner stuff will prevent hail stone dents when you have hail stones as big as Richard was describing. Rocks and road stuff probably. Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Better Hail Protection Reply #32 – May 21, 2016, 08:30:08 pm But lt might give some degree of shatter resistance to plastic items like ac shrouds, skylights, vents, and vent covers. Quote Selected
Re: Better Hail Protection Reply #33 – May 22, 2016, 08:07:28 am Michelle,I've got those ICON AC covers and they will not break from hail. They are made of a different material than the original AC covers. Thinner and more flexible and seemingly impervious to damage. I've had them for about 5 years now. Highly recommended.
