TRD PRO SKID- who’s painted it?

i want to see pics of painted TRD pro skid plates. I’ve got one being delivered tomorrow, but I’m thinking of painting it.

 

Bed liner with @TUFSKINZ lettering



Edit: I tried spray paint previously and it chipped off insanely fast.

 

Looks good!

 

Awesome. Pics on the truck?

 

Looks good when it never gets dirty or used

 

This was the spray paint version (don't have bedliner photos on truck) not very visible unless you're far away or get low.

 

This is literally your best post ever.

 

Hate to see the worst.

 

Is this more your flavor?

My only regret, is that I only have one "like" to give.

 

hell yeah, that's awesome. On my mod list now

 

Here's the rub, a lot of people (not everyone) but a lot of people buy off road gear for image projection rather than truck protection. Smitty's original post was a comment on that tendency. My comment to Smitty's ghostnic was more of rub that this was his first post in awhile that wasn't bitching about the third gen.

If you are going to really use that skid plate, then my take is that the aesthetics of it really don't matter. For example, my sliders and armor look like shit. I rattle can them a couple of times a year, but they exist to get dented, scratched and bashed so it's my personal opinion that making sure they look sharp is a waste of time.

However, how one decorates his/her truck is a very personal choice. If it brings the owner joy or satisfaction, that's all that matters - right?

 

I plan on painting satin red with the TRD black or white. Undecided on that so I'm taking my time
