I took another plunge today.
Did the painted on skid plate mod.
Thanks to SilverBullet75 for posting what he did.
I didn't take it as high, I was a little scared to go all the way.

The sun was behind the VX which made the front look darker than what it really is. I'll take a better pic.
This time I used silver Fusion paint for plastic. Then went over it with high temp aluminum paint to give it the bling. Note, I had already painted my cladding so little prep involved.
The tow hook is going back black.
