    I recently bought the TRD Skid. My truck is red and I'd like to paint the skid plate matte black, as I think the white would stand out too much. My truck is 100% a mall-crawler so I'm not worried about chips or damage. Does anyone have any advice on what kind of paint would stick to the powdercoat? These are the options I'm considering at the moment.
