    While your at HomeDepot, grab a hacksaw and trim those bolts:thumbsup:

    And what are you painting? The skids?
    I don’t see anything wrong with the paint, but those bolts are driving me crazy.:rofl:

    While you’re at Home Depot grab some Rustoleum Hammered Paint in Gray or Silver and use that. It comes in spray cans. Gives it a hammered look while stopping rust.
    I used it on my rear hubs prior to installing my TE’s, still looks great without that rusty look in the center of the hubs after 5 years

    Polaris industries had cloud grey touchup paint that looks identical as the op's skid plates.

    It's totalled! I think the only logical next step is a part out!
    Just go to Home Depot like others said. Buy some cheap spray paint, lightly sand the paint around it and respray it. Its most likely going to happen again and it's on the underside of your truck so there's really no point in making it absolutely perfect.:notsure:

    Agree on the bolts. Long enough to put fish on for the campfire.

    Update : I was able to get a super close paint match. sadly my kitchen butter knife isn’t making a dent on these bolts but I did order a steak knife from Amazon that can cut a boot in half

    Yeah, I got a little excited and wanted to see if the paint matched. I plan on pulling both sides off and doing it the right way on my next day off.

    that mod is useless and pointless, great way to damage and deteriorate your lower control arm.
