Default Husky Line racks and brush guard?

Curious if anyone has put Husky Liner on their brush guards and rack extenders? I'm thinking of doing it and possibly the whole racks, what does everyone think?

I'm not familiar with Husky Liner. I used Herculiner that I got from an auto parts store to paint my boat seats on an open v-hull. They've held up for about 3 years now without looking worn. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

From a body mans point of view its all in the prep. metal should be roughed up with 80 grit sand paper and with the smc plastics, scuff with soapy water,dry with air. then apply an adhesion promoter(from the local auto paint store.) Rhino Liner and Linex are pro. installed and good or zoletone (also at the paint store) is good stuff but you can do it yourself.The cheaper the liner, the less life you'll have.

The Herculiner I got was a gallon can that cost me around $80 or so. You roll it on and it has a nice textured surface.

I would do Linex but they want to charge me 300 bucks for just the rack extenders and brush guard

I'd go the do it yourself route. It brushes,rolls and sprays on and it's really not that hard. Take your time and even practice on a box or pipe to get the feel of what procedure your going to use.

I'm going to try some herculiner or some duplicolor stuff on my footwells and I might try it on the front brush guard.

I'd like to try line-ex color keyed to the body work but I don't want to spend that much money on a 1995 ATV. I'm going to go the budget route.

The Herculiner that you roll on out of a can is better than the Duplicolor spray on stuff. Much thicker and lasts much longer. I tried both before I used the Herculiner on my boat seats.

I just talked to the people who rhino'd my truck, and they said it would probably only be about $50, so I think I'm gunna go that route
