Painting skid plate

[Blind1]

^^Thanks for responding so quickly. Yea, I have removed the skid plate before, but I thought it would be just as easy to do the plastidip while on the truck. I'll probably do as you did!

BTW - your truck is looking good.

I found it a lot easier to plastidip the skidplate off the truck. To get nice even coats over the whole skid plate. Found it harder to do when spraying the plastidip upwards.

I like the line X a lot. I think that is what I'm going to do with mine. Thanks for the pics!

Yep, I wish I had thought of that when I got my bed and rear wheel wells sprayed. Looks good.

How much did the lines cost to get coated on the skid an silver part?

I am looking to get my stock Skid Plate and silver bumper section painted soon. If you had to choose a method what would you recommend?

Painted to color match the dark grey like the rest of the bumper?
Painted Black?
PlastiDip'd Black?
LineX'd Black?

I'd go with line-x so it won't chip. Rattle can isn't going to stay looking nice for very long being that close to the ground to get chipped up.

Or powdercoated.

Quick/cheap resort I'd plasti-dip, just so when it gets chipped up you can peel it off and redo it.

Yeah...I am back and forth between painting plasti dip or just LIne-X, either way I think it will look good...like the ease. Of touch up with paint and Plastidip..

You shouldn't ever need to touch up line-x. If you hit something big enough to chip that up, you've got other problems to fix too lol. Touched up paint looks like crap with little dots of touchup where all the dots of chips are. And plastidip will get old peeling off and repainting every couple months to keep it looking perfect like line-x would look.

Thanks guys.

I'll ask my installer for a LineX price. I would think ~ $100.00 or so.

PlastiDip is just a DYI thing isn't it ?
