Default Thinking of Line-x to avoid pinstriping

After destroying my clear coat on my first trip to the Badlands in Attica, IN, I am thinking of what I can do with line-x. Has anyone done their entire jeep, and or are there any pics out there? I know I should just live with the scratches but it looked like crap on the black paint

Ive seen some pics of doing the entire JK with bedliner. Heard it was a bear to clean when muddy.

Or just keep it muddy and you don't notice any scratches

Theres a guy on here that did his entire jeep.. I think there's a thread about it too. Maybe he'll chime in? I can't remember how much (4-5000??) but I know it was expensive.

Depending on how deep the scratches are you should look into taking it toa detailing shop and letting them at least buff it to see if anything comes out.

If its just destroyed and the paint is ruined I would look into Maaco. I know some areR REEEEEALLY bad but they are individually owned and each one is different. I am a police officer and we found an awesome one and had the police cars painted black and white for only $350! Even if it sucks, it is only temporary, or so it seems with the way you drive it hahahaha GOOD LUCK!

There's a company out of Texas I believe that is selling Line-X'd JK's on eBay. There was one for sale at the local Volvo dealership a couple years ago that was done in black, it looked kinda cool. I've seen several different ones on eBay and some of them look pretty good, but like someone said earlier, they are a bear to clean when they get muddy.

Probably going to sound stupid but....what is "Line-X" I am assuming it is some type of coat of paint or something similar.

It's a spray on bed-liner, polyurethane mixed with something else... Basically a "super-tough" plastic-type spray

Look on eBay for new jeeps from a store in Dallas. They use line x to paint their jeeps. It looks indestructible. Looks great as well. Sorry, I can't remember name of company.
