Looks nice guys. I don't think we'll be doing anything like that real soon, but someday maybe.
A friend of mine once brought back a picture of an older Jeep (a CJ I think) that had been linex-ed inside and out. Considering the durability, I guess it would be a cool thing for serious off-roading.

Voodoo did you do two coats? Also did you do the UV stabilizer?

Yeah, for a two door. I had some left over from the gallon for extra coats on my CJ. I would think an Unlimited may require more. I personally never used the UV coat because I liked it betterafter it faded to flat black.

For the 4 door 1 gallon should be enough I guess: For 3 coats in the back and 2 in the footwells I used 3 liters of product.
As for the UV stablizer: I used "ProtectaKote UVR - Black" the anti UV-stuff is already in there, so no need for the extra step. The UV resistant stuff costed me 12 $ more per can, but I figured that better do it right and do it once...

Yes, you have to get all the luster away before painting! Make all the surfaces you want to line DULL and then rub with Acetone. You can leave the original paint on (actually better) but make sure you sand it so it becomes dull !

I figured that in the italian sun it would fade to a dull greyish-black pretty soon so I got the UV-resistant one. The dealer had a truck bed in his parking which was painted 50-50 with normal black and UVR black.
Told me he has it out there for 'bout 2-3 years now mainly to show people what the stuff looks like. While the "normal" black looked ok I prefered the other one as it was still shiny...
