SKID PLATE under engine bay
Well as of now, it is black but kind of beat up from road crap and such. I was wonder if any of you have painted it a different color other then black. My rig is white if this will help. Also if any of you have painted it a different color, pleas post up some pics for me to see.
On the other hand, maby I should leave it black. What do you all think?

No hard feelings or anything, but i resent tahtSorry for the hijack. I would try painting it white since your runner is white. That would be pretty cool looking.

not sure about white though...its goin to be dusty, dirty, muddy, or have grease on it. For an undercarriage type item that may see some abuse, the least maintenance would be ideal (black or just an aluminum plate), but thats my opinion.

I painted mine using the same paint that I painted my truck with. Od Green Rust Paint. But as you can see from the picture it's not on mu truck right now, as I took it off to do some welding and got too lazy to put it back on.

How about neon pink?! 
haha no I'd leave it black. Or paint it whatever the color of mud you have in the area so it will never look dirty!
