    I tend to not care how something looks that's designed to get bashed up (inside of bed, skid plates, etc...) but I come from an off-roading POV.

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    This thread inspired me to paint mine too. I used Rustoleum Hammered Black and it looks pretty good. Can't really see the texture of it unless you'r real close though,
    here's a pic

    to paint a design seems like alot of work for something that can be damaged later on (Art stuff to me is a challenge- i find it alot of work to do it). If its a solid colur thats different than how it is, why not. if you can do a design in no time, what the hell haha

    Could always go for a new plate skid with a cut like this one:

    I do custom cuts and can put the colored backplate on it if you like, there is currently a group buy going on and we just hit the 10% off mark.
