Default Has anyone Line-X'd the lower front?

I have an 08 H3 and I would like to have the bottom of the front bumper coated with Line-X material. The silver/grey just doesn't look right there.
Has anyone here had this done and how is it holding up and of course how does it look.

I dunno if anyone has done it, and I don't know how good it will look having only that part linex'd if anything Id tell you to powder coat it. Linex looks alot different than anything else on your 3 so take that into mind. It might look cool in some spots but not all. And I think you'd be stoaked at first but than not like it over time IMO. The 06 that I have came with a black one, I have a boulder accessories winch bumper and was thinking of selling that piece. But have no clue what to ask for it or how much shipping would run.

Dupli-Color Truck Bed Coating. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/truckbed.html
Works great, goes on easy, if you scratch or chip it over time, it touches up easy as well. Will be way cheaper than going the Line X route.
Simple weekend couple hour project plus dry time.

Some friends, and others on here have done their front chrome plastic grilles with it and it looks pretty good.

If you go the gallery section of Line-X 's website, there are pictues of a Ford and Jeep that have a the grille coated. If it were me, I would go the inexpensive route with the duplicolor or a can of Krylon to see if I liked it. You could always have that piece of metal sand blasted and start over.

There are some great suggestions here and I thank you.

I'm looking at a few things to do with my H3, but nothing until spring, and or warmer weather.

The more I look at that gray up front, the more I think it should go.
