What do you mean "no paint"? Paint is simply a generic word describing a protective coating. Line-X is a polyurethane paint and the fact that it has abrasion resistant solids and is designed to be applied thicker than most paints does not change that fact. Line-X requires a polyureathane primer before being applied to stainless steel too. All of this will add well over 100 lbs. to a Cybertruck and will make it more damage prone and harder to repair. The cold-rolled 3mm thick stainless steel will be more damage resistant than Line-X.
OK, so you were saying Cybertruck doesn't benefit from Line-X? If so I agree.HaulingAss, you missed my point. The fact that the Cybertruck is bare metal is pure genius. I bought my F150 new in 2012 and if anything hit the paint it chipped. I could scape it with my fingernail. I know the owner of my local Linex shop so I covered the bottom half, the roof, mirrors and running boards. This was years ago and it’s held up perfectly. Weight was not an issue because I run Fab Four bumpers front and rear and have a custom 1/4 inch aluminum skid plate under the chassis. These additions already added 300 pounds. I have always felt that manufactures should offer trucks with a working man’s / off road option with an easy to touch up flat black, desert tan or camouflage paint. I’m very fussy about my possessions and with the Linex I couldn’t wax it even if I wanted to, just brush it off once a week, that’s it.
You expanded on what I started in the late '80s.....
Somehow, I feel insultedThe Cybertruck isn't supposed to be a pretty boy's truck.
It's ok Gus, I think you're pretty.Somehow, I feel insulted
