Paint my skid plate black or grey?

Before:


Went grey (will feel it out for a bit, but might go black):

 

Grey is nice but a darker grey would be even better!

 

Good idea. I’ll keep that in mind. I feel the black will just disappear the skid plate, and my wheels are gunmetal, so it would match at but more with a gunmetal skid

 

I used the grey Steel-It on mine and I like it. Sets it’s apart from the black bumper but doesn't scream look at me like a light grey would.

 

That's definitely what I am going for. The subtle difference.

Is this the one you're talking about? https://www.indconsupply.com/steel-...rZryW6dgEmX1I-dNJGbX_11D5N9-mM_hoCjQQQAvD_BwE

Yours looks great and exactly what I would want. just subtlety different than black.

 

Skid plates are supposed to be themed. @HolyHandGrenade shows how it's done here.

 

Yup, thats the stuff.

 

Just did mine last weekend. They needed a touch up. Grey up front and the rest black



Note: I don't really care about colors in this instance but burning up paint I had readily available

 

Black.

 

Think I am going this route. The Steel It is too pricey at $27 a can...

Going with the Dark Steel

 

I painted mine with Black bed liner paint. Real easy to touch it up.

 

Go big or go home.....painted mine RED

 

Here’s what that looks like, fyi. Lower valance. It’s lighter than it appears as advertised:

 

I wonder if my skids are still down there.....

 

Oh wow, that is much lighter than advertised. It is almost a silver from your picture.

Maybe their "Soft Iron" color is what I want. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Ol...pray-Paint-and-Primer-in-One-342498/307244772

 

I painted my TRD skid flat black a couple of years ago...including the backside so no gray shows.

 

Hell my grey shows painfully every time I look in the mirror. Oh we are still discussing skids

 

Black

 

Went grey... we'll see what it looks like on the truck tomorrow. Figured if I don't like it, Ill go over it in black.

 

What color gray is that? That "soft iron" color?

My OEM skid plate is starting to look FUGLY.

I plan on changing my belt next month, so I might as well take advantage of having the skid plate off.
