Hi All,
Can I get a sense check on this please? I have this "Full Plate" all steel bumper for my Tacoma, want to have it coated with bed liner before install. Line-X was my 1st choice. The local dealer quoted "~$600 total" (~$300 to send it out for sandblast and primer powder coat + ~$300 for the Line-X). The Winchester, VA Line-X shop says for adhesion reasons they will only do bare steel bumpers like this if sand blasted and powder coated in primer. $600 is quite a bit more than I had estimated (FWIW local body shop says ~$400 for "Prep", prime and paint). Any feedback would be appreciated.
