Longbed, yeah. For the general public, price is 769 for longbed color coded, plus $50 for over the rail .. that's a total of 819.00 plus tax... I know a guy there so they did it special for me $675 cash, no tax... it's all about who you know.. lol.

You get what you pay for, my friend. Line-x is the best out there, and you can't do Line-x at home. They use a special machine heat sprayer and the color coat is made of Kevlar. I'll never have any peel, scrape, or color fade, I'll bet every dollar I paid on it.

well on all the price checks i've done around here i'm satisfied completely with what i paid for the Line-X. It's well worth it in my book. I don't doubt that there are variations with location. I'm in NAshville, TN, I also checked the prices in Louisiana when I was there and it was either the same or a little higher if I'm not mistaken.. so, I'm still happy with what I paid.

That looks really nice!
My brother just had them (Line-X dealer) do the entire body of his Toyota truck in color match. The pics of it looked good.

Does the color make it fade resistant? We found that deer blood faded the regular black line-x.

How's it holding up birdy?
I got Premium Line-X done on my truck back in 12-4-12 for 550$. Black.
I like it, though I am afraid it is fading a bit.

Mine's starting to dry out and get really rough in areas. I thought it wasn't supposed to do that, albeit it's been about 3yrs in the sun.
Is there a way to rejuvenate it? I thought Line-X sold something like that.

That line x looks great. I didn't know you could get it color matched. Do they use a general color or actually match it to the exact color you want? I was gonna get mine in black too but since my truck will be brown when it gets painted someday, I think I would color match it. The brown looks great.

hey guys. I appologize for the tardiness in my response. The Line x has held up well. I do use a rubber mat over top so i have babied it. The tailgate has sustained the most abuse, and does show scratches and there is a small portion that got chipped out. But the color hasnt faded much if any. And it has been in the sun most if the last 5 years. Not sure if they have a special product for rejuvination. Theyll use your paint code to get good quality paint and mix it in so itll be an exact match. Hope this helps. I still am happy with it, overall.
