Default Line-X Differential covers??

Should have a set of Riddler diff. covers in my hands by Monday (thanks to David at Northridge4X4) and am having my hardtop line-xed Tuesday. The owner of the shop will shoot my diff covers at the same time. Is there any reason not to do this??? Seems to me that the Line-X will hold up better than paint and any superficial repairs could be painted later. (?)

Problem. Well the Riddlers from Northridge (David really is a good guy to talk to) came in. The Riddlers have this cool skull trademark embossed on the front and my line-x guy says that he will cause it to disappear if he coats them sooooo I opted for powder coating. Not as tough but hey....it's a diff.
