I spoke with Jim at Shrockworks today and my skid plates should be here next week. Any ideas what to cover them with before installing.

Spray-on bedliner might look cool, but I don't know how well it'll hold up.

Clean them well with acetone. Lightly sand, clean again with acetone, and then use a high-zinc primer followed by some semi-flat spray paint.

It's easy to touch up that way.

It might, but it'd also provide a raised, abrasive surface. Not very conducive to sliiding over stuff. Silicone or teflon shmeared would be optimal. laugh

Dagger's got it Scott [ThumbsUp] I powdercoated my sliders, and what's been mashed away, stays that wya for now. There's no touch up paint available to match. Besides, chicks dig the scars. wink

That was supposed to be tounge-in-cheek but I forgot the smiley. [Freak]

At least paint 'OPEN OTHER END' or something down there. laugh

Maybe 'Bad Boy' eyes on the front skid:





Ora 'YIELD' sign:



How about Calvin pissing on a rock:



Be creative.

I was thinking POR 15. But still wanted other opinions.
