Line-X Question

I am having my bed sprayed at Line-X this weekend and the technician told me they remove the bed bolts before spraying, which I was glad to hear. I asked him about the two removable black plugs in the front of the bed, and he told me they usually don't remove them and just spray over them.

I am on the fence about having them sprayed or having them removed, and then put back after the bed is finished. I wanted to know what everyone thought. Should I spray them, or have the tech remove them and then put them back once the bed is done?

Thanks in advance.

I just had a Line-X Xtra sprayed in my 2011 F-150 a few weeks ago and I was on the fence about that like you. Ultimately I decided it didn't really matter that much to me and I just let them spray over the them.

Trust me though, you won't regret the Line-X. Its a great bedliner.

My dealer removed them before he sprayed my bed. I love having the line-x though.

I never paid attention to them and mine got sprayed over. I'm pretty sure I would have never used them, so I haven't lost any sleep over it. I love having the Line-X, too.

If I'd known that I would be getting a BAKFlip F1 that uses drain tubes that go through a hole cut into those rubber grommets, perhaps I would have had them removed before being Line-X'd...

I have Line-X on my 2001 and they sprayed it in 2003 and they sprayed over the plugs. I've never had any issues.

looks better to me if they are left in. I will say though to make sure they cover or remove your spare tire under the bed. I got some Line-X overspray on mine and that should be interesting when and if I use it one day.

Look at my grill. Nothing but compliments from peeps and I also did my Luverne bars(not pictured) with line-x of course
No dust acculminating any more than unsprayed grill.

just click on my name and go to public profile, on the right you will see albums then click on show all albums and bam! there it is.
I do love the look of the grill. My son is driving pretty soon (he gets truck)so he wants me to get black rims on next. Yes I`m losing my truck and the search is on for another.
