Am about to order my cattleman grille guard and n fab 6 step nerfs. I have a white platinum lariat with the adobe bottom and I want to match my grille guard and nerfs to the adobe. The powder coating guys I've been talking to said they won't be able to exact match it but can get it coliseum enough that you probably couldn't tell. Line x said he orders the exact pigment on the door sticker to mix with the bonder. I dont know what to do as I am torn between not wanting the texture or fade in the line x option but not wanting the color variance in powder coat.

Btw the line x is $100 cheaper than powdercoat as well.

It also depends upon durability expectations. Powder coating WILL scuff and scratch.

Not sure how well the XTRA color matched Line-X will hold up or whether the "gloss" is also easily scuffed.

Anybody have any pics of nerd bars or accessories color match line x'd?

I would go with a black line x but that is all I have seen.

Go with line-x. If your feet are on it everyday. The powder coat will wear off super fast. And scratch and look ugly. Bedliner will take the abuse better.

I'd go with the bedliner, superior wear resistance

line-x is one TOUGH bedliner and the colour matching is incredible. I'm getting mine done in Sterling Grey next month can't wait!

I've seen 5-year old Line-x'd bedliners that still look brand new IMO

UV coat on the lineX virtually eliminates fading.

Thanks everyone. Went with line x. Posted pics on another thread. Line x with paint to match IS line x extra with UV. Cannot get it without when adding paint. JFYI.
