 Topic: Line-XPosted: 17 December 2020 at 10:17pm |
|
Although these holiday project plans have been scuppered by Pompey moving into Tier 3, I was wondering if anyone has had their scoops (or other bins) sprayed with Line-X? I have a tub of Tuff Cab that I was going to use over the next two weeks but did like the look of their finish
If anyone has had this done, can you let me know if: a) is it as good as it looks on the website; and b) the cost, if you don't mind sharing or messaging me and is it value for money? Or, as I'm in Tier 3, make use of the time and get out the Tuff Cab you lazy twat...

Ive had countless cabs sprayed in Line-x or other similar coatings.
There is NO comparison with paint, i have 10 year old cabs which have been out on 100’s of jobs with no repairs or re-spraying. No wood showing anywhere. No water damage despite extensive outdoor use. Initial outlay is much higher than paint, but once it is done it is done. When they come back in covered in festival mud they get jet washed before going back on their pallet.

Yes, it’s as good as it looks! If not better.
I have flightcases and speakers coated in Line-X I have a EV X-Line system I bought used a few years ago that was covered in Line-X from new. There’s not a mark on it. Well over 10 years old. I had a small floodlight system coated in line-x about 5 years ago the costs were roughly around £100 a box. I did prep them exactly as they requested. So all they had to do was spray. Have you looked at the Raptor bed liner? Similar principle just doesn’t have to be applied at heat in a special manner quite the same as Line-X.

P.S Tuffcab is rubbish.
It’s the least tough specific speaker paint I have ever used. The finish does look really nice until you try and use the speakers.

Thanks Jace, given I'm in T4 with no prospect of moving out anytime soon, I'll try the Raptor with a compressor and spray gun!

The likely limitation is me and my spray painting abilities... or lack thereof!

Line X is brilliant, I think I was paying about £80 a cab. I'd be interested in your results too.

Can anyone suggest places to get cabs sprayed for £80? We have been quoted circa £350 a cab!

It’s all about quantity. How many are you looking to get done and where abouts in the country are you?

Line-X is also pretty expensive here in NL, so am opting for some different options. Looking forward to some results
