[surf-life]

What are they made of would be my first question...:yesgray:

[etlsport]

id say black... if they white doesnt match the rest of the car it will look silly

[Triathlete]

Polish them and clear coat...unless you go with pink!:yesy:

Where's the choice for take them off? :bwgy::smilewink:bgwo::bgwb:

Just kiddin wit ya Jack...black would be the best, but I like Zeus's idea about the graffiti look.

[pbkid]

haha pink? i dunno if im that bold billy, not for my daily driver.
i would actually go for that on a project, but not for my daily ;)

dubski-
their made of 3/16 sheet steel. They are currently just primed and now have a few scratches after last weekend :naughty:


if i did paint em white, i would get matching paint from home depot/checker. So they would be a perfect match.

I think the white would make it just look too big and bold, I think it kinda overwhelms and takes over the entire front of your truck....'course you may want that affect :_shrug:.....I'd say black.

I ... Um ... Er ...

This is so difficult

Well ... Hmm ...

I agree with KAT.

May wanna bookmark this page ... prolly NEVER hear that again.

I'd say keep em metal, but if its mild steel i suppose it will rust. Although if you paint it it's going to look quite rough fairly quickly isnt it?

Semi-gloss black, it'll hide the scratches and rash and be easy to touch-up. Once you go black...

[pbkid]

hmm, its very interested to me that most voted black.

i would of though most would go for white to match the car.

ill take pics from other angles, just remember that they are still rough and primered as i havent put the finishing touches on them ;)

Peanut Butter Kid,

If you already had your mind set up to paint it white, why did you ask our opinion???:)

IMHO, skid plates are undercarriage components & I believe that all undercarriage components should be black. Of course that statement comes from someone who's crossmember & diff brackets are painted John Deere 'lello.

[crotchrocket]

lol, sounds like you want it white!! do it!!!!

Just to throw another option in why dont you get some 3M vinyle? you can either wrap it in white, or maybe a chequer plate pattern or even a carbon effect etc? a single role is 650mm wide i think? and not too expensive.

[pbkid]

ya, thats an interesting idea james. The only problem i see with it is that i plan on these getting very scratched up, and i think vinyl would be hard to repair.

ya, i pretty much had my mind set on it i suppose. i just though i'd get opinions.

thanks for all the input everyone! :thumbup:

i'll let you all know the results asap :)
