To Powdercoat or not....

I just called our local powder coat people here. They can powder coat my side step ups and skid plate black. Total cost $300.00. For a extra 50 they said they can powder coat TRD on the skid plate in any color (I am thinking red).

I think this would look sharp as I have also paid for the elusive elements grille group buy (top, bottom and a light bar for behind the grille).

What do you guys think.

 

Hell yeah! I think it would look great and I would spend the extra $50 to get the TRD done. Great looking truck by the way

 

300 seems pretty steep

 

For 300 i say you look into some nice looking sliders unless you use the step

 

In my opinion I think those steps are ugly. Sliders or take them off and sell them.

 

My 6 & 5 year old use the steps and after the lift will need them even more. Where I live you never run into rocks, it is nothing but clay and sand.

 

It's your truck so do what you want. I think it would look great & you do have a nice looking truck. I'd do it if it were mine.

 

I have thought about Line-X'g my sidesteps as well - let me know what you decide. I would do all but the rubber part - I am fond of Line-X for its function by I also think it looks nice. I have my fenders & rocker panels Line-X'd (see link) -- I had thought about the skid plate and now I will think more since you mentioned it!!! Does it EVER end????

I dont mind the chrome bars since you dont have black wheels. I say leave it the way it is and spend the money on something else. You can just use line-x or bedliner to paint your skidplate black, its real simple.

 

A good line x shop will do that for half the price, and it'llast forever. Just got my grill and rear bumper done for $100 bucks, took an hour, dried almost instantly and I slapped em back on.

 

Good deal, especially if you got kids that use the steps, gotta make your family car look as sweet as you can!
