Default Questions on Line X before i get it next week

This weekend i plan on stripping out my jeep
i think i have figured out i want the Line X Xtra so it does not fade but when i have it done should i leave the bolts that had the seats and consul and other things in their holes or should i remove them?
If i remove them will i be able to get the bolts back in without a problem?

I wouldn't pay extra for the Xtra for interior Line-X unless it sits topless in the sun all the time. The original product is plenty stout.

It will be a PITA, but you should probably mask the bolt holes when the Line-X is applied. The tolerance on those threads is basically zero.

I would think you would want to stick small pieces of some cheap foam (any fabric store) in the bolt holes or else you will have a hard time reinstalling them. The foam will expand to the hole size and is easily removable

the guys on TRUCKS (tv show) did that when painting the interior of a el camino and thats just with regular fine paint. You'll be using some thick stuff

Use golf tees, for a snug fit either wrap tape around the ends or use some kind of foam. Should be easy to remove, golf tee head provides a place too grab on to.

The Line-X shop should already be able to deal with filling the holes for you.
There are a few holes that aren't necessary, and they can cover those up with metal tape and then they are gone forever. They aren't bolt holes though.

Mine has faded a little in 2.5 years, but it is topless nearly all the time when it isn't winter. Depending on how much the Xtra costs, it might be worth it to you. I like it better now than when it was shiny and new though, as now I can touch it up with duplicolor, which is flat.

One of the previous posts that had step by step photos had golf tees in the holes.
