HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - LINE-X Protective Coatings, the nation's leading developer and provider of high performance protective coatings, recently returned from a very successful 2011 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show (SEMA) show and is excited to announce that the LINE-X PREMIUM coated Ford F-150 SVT Raptor was awarded "Hottest Truck" notoriety. The Raptor can be seen on upcoming seasons of Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers, a hit documentary series following the adventures of tornado researchers Reed Timmer and Chris Chittick of TornadoVideos.net. In addition to hosting the Raptor out on the show floor, the all-new LINE-X booth also featured the hugely popular lead chase vehicle, The Dominator I. With Reed Timmer and Chris Chittick in the booth talking about the vehicles, signing autographs and posing for photos, the crowds kept coming, full of curious onlookers, Storm Chasers fans and interested new franchisees, impressed by the untraditional use of the industry's leading bedliner.
""We are thrilled to have LINE-X Premium protecting The Raptor's Storm Chasers team against the toughest of weather conditions and the fact that the truck has won 'Hottest Truck' is just the icing on the cake.

"Whether it's extreme weather, corrosive chemicals or tough working environments, LINE-X protects your most valued investments you wherever you are."
