IF YOU ARE CONCERNED BY THE APPERANCE OF THE WHEEL WELLS JUST BUY NEW ONE'S.. Z CARS LIST FOR ABOUT 86 EACH AND OTHERS ARE 100.
Not looking to just spray this stuff on anything. i was just looking to make the wheelwells look better. Anyone who drives their vette knows what im talking about. I was tryng to get rid of that faded plastic look for good with a great material(not Rustoleum). I think its a great mod(if done correctly).Dont think of the wheelwells being caked up with bed liner 1/4 inch thick, but a nice light tight coat just to give the plastic a bit of texture along with restoring the new black look for many years to come. Heck, if it makes you feel any better, just have the liner color matched so it matchs the rest of the car....i know im not the only one that this whellwell problem bothers..how many people shoot tire dressing on them while doing your tires...???

Line X, Rhino....???

Could this be the start of a new trend?
Instead of lowered Vettes,
there will be lift kits, brush guards,
roof mounted running lights.
long travel shocks....
Oh yeah, and rock crawler Vette's

OK, I'm done...:o

The dull colored wheel wells bother me too. Ive done the tire shine stuff on them but wasnt happy with it. I would love to see what the coating would look like on the wheel well liners.

I think the rear, lower facia would look great with Line-X on it. A very tight, thin black coat as mentioned before. My only questions would be, if there was any chance of it starting to lift and would minor repairs be possible to accomplish, if need be. If I can locate a dealer in, or close to, Minnesota, who has experience with applying this stuff on plastic, I may very well give it a shot next Spring.

it bonds very well to plastic if its prepped correctly and is flexible enough when its applied thin like we are talking about. Its good to see at least one forum member understands my thoughts. it can be touched up it it were to be damaged. lower fascia would look great but i wouldnt dare to comment on it any further.. but i still
