Has anyone got experience on using different products such as Line-X coatings on the Avalanche cladding? My 2008 needs a bunch of exterior work and I have been considering doing the entire truck in Line-X coating. However the local shop tells me that nothing will stick to the cladding. In his words, Line-X won't stick to plastic. This is in contradiction to a pile of pictures and videos I've found on the internet, including this CAFCNA member:
Unfortunately he's not active anymore and I can't get ahold of him. The last thing I want to do is spend a pile of money and have the coating fall off.
I'm wondering what you guys have done - whether it be paint or bedliner or whatever.
Side note, I think the 2007+ cladding is a different material than the pre-2007 trucks. I'm not sure how different, but I know from reading a lot of threads that things like Refinish Restorer works well on the Gen 1, but sucks on the Gen 2 (I know that from personal experience)
