Anyone paint their TRD front skid plate?

Anyone have pictures of their TRD front skid plate painted black? (Or any other dark color)

I'm debating on painting mine flat black before installing it on my MGM

 

How much do those TRD plates sell for?

Mine came with the TRD plate as an option, I broke it within a month. After I had it repaired, I painted it with rustoleum Titanium silver metallic. It's now darker than stock with some metallic flake to it.

 

My dealer quoted $390 plus tax when I inquired about replacing.

Any pics?

 

Here's a link to one of the member on here that did it in bronze. Looks pretty good.

The bronze looks clean with the volks and quicksand color

 

I powder coated mine cast bronze

 

How's the powdercoating holding up?

 

@MilkTeacoma thanks for the info.

Thinking I'll leave it as is or powdercoat at this point

 

Yeesh. I'll just be going after market lol

 

That is really sharp!!

 

Thanks man

 

Powder coating is holding up just fine. I paid about 50$ to get it powder coated.. a lot more than painting it would cost but holds up 1000x better

 

Paint it. It's a skid. It needs to be repainted every now and then

 

Decided to get it powder coated

 

Those powder coats came out looking good!

 

show us some pics mounted on your mgm

 

hell that's a deal just in time spent.
