Default Bedlined front grill

I just saw the write-up on this and thought it was a cool idea but i was wondering.... I spend must of my time driving on the highway or back roads. with the grill bedlined does it make it easier to clean the bugs and stuff off the grill and are you less liking to getting stone chips?

There is an edit button at the bottom of your post you can just make changes like that yourself. Not being a smart "A" just FYI.

I think it'd be less likely to chip but it could happen and even if the bugs don't come of better or even as well you want noice them as much.

Results will differ depending on what product you use. Don't just get the cheapest one. I used Duplicolor in a spray can on my Steps and it has held up well. You'll need more than you thing so buy one extra.

There's a member here that has his grille done in colour-matched Line-X. I've seen his rig in person, and it looks GREAT.

Of the common bedliner products out there, I think that Line-X is the best. It's also likely to cost you more...but for something like the grille, I'd spend the extra money.

If you bed line your grille should you really be worried about cleanning it

Yes, and other standard maintenance, like oil changes, and tire rotations will also still be needed as well.

I was told by a local Line-X guy that they couldn't spray plastic... that it would never adhere.

I've seen quite a few people on here who did their fender flares and grille themselves so it must work. You just have to lightly sand the clear coat off so that it sticks well
