Not all dealers currently offer non-fading color matches. I expect more dealers to offer color matching when Xtra becomes available for color matching in about a month. Xtra contains a solvent. Some states, like California, have VERY strick laws when spraying any solvent based product. So, there may some "barriers to entry" for some dealers. If you want an exact non-fading color match, be SURE the dealer uses either Dupont Nason or Xtra. Otherwise, forget it.
No spray-in bedliner is perfect and they are not indestructible. If the truck was prepared propertly (and that's they key point here) then the liner should not peel, chip, etc. with normal use. LINE-X has a very good product and that's why LINE-X is the ONLY brand that gives you a written nationwide lifetime warranty.
Dealer prices will vary, but rocker panels will cost about $275 for a short bed regular cab to about to about $450 for a long bed crew cab. Add about $150 for the fender flares.
We applied non-fading color-matched LINE-X (color matched to the color of the customer's Suburban) to the rockers and fender flares. Personally, I think it totally changes the look of the truck and I like it!
LINEX-X was sprayed in my truck bed and rails two years ago. The "prep" part is most important. I had the 5th wheel mounted and holes drilled after the LINE-X was sprayed with good results. Thicker does not necessary mean anything. Seems like Meguiar's deep crystal wash does a pretty good job in restoreing the color back to original for me. This stuff is hard. A good investment.
