Default Rhino lining question

I'm sorry wasn't sure where to post this but my hood is faded pretty bad and I've been thinking of think lining my hood and possibly the fenders. What are some good brands to buy and what prep work do you start when doing this. Thanks for the questions.

Directions on product being used will tell you what prep needs to be done, as with any project paint or this, the quality of the prep and product used will determine the outcome.

Roll on Monstaliner. Just did another one of my bumpers this past weekend. Easy to work with, strong, and very UV resistant so it doesn't fade like a lot of other liners. Love this stuff

Thanks. My second time around with monstaliner. Went for more texture this time and Im really happy with the way it came out. Still a lot to get done before it's mounted.

Here's the first bumper I did

Just scuffed the bare metal with the scotch pads in the kit and then their roll on primer. Check out my build thread. Will be doing some more lining soon, including the entire top, and I'll try to add a little more photos of the process

Yep, bare metal is your best bet, although that stuff will stick to just about anything (wear gloves). Also, if you're doing the hood, the flat black gets very, very hot in the sun- just a heads-up.

Here is some links I have saved from my nosing around. I will be doing Monster liner later this summer more than likely.

O I'm sure it will get hot but black is what will look good and clean. Not very much colors to choose from.
