    You should. The paint matched perfectly with TRD letters. I should've done that long time ago.

    Yep! Dupli-Color engine block paint. One coat of primer then 3-4 coats of paint.

    It's a pretty nice skid plate, the little door for oil changes is an added bonus too.

    Dammm...I hit the nail on the head on that one. :thumbsup:
    I recognized the shade of red and texture lol.

    Paint the silver inside bed side tie downs with it too.
    I always thought the those looked unfinished.
