Default Paint Job

I'm looking into painting my lower panel a different color, any suggestions? Can anyone photoshop some colors in?

You could try a spray on or roll on bedliner material.

They look good. I think I'm going to go with black. I have a red truck with black rims. But then I'll want to paint my bumpers black to match as they are chrome now.

Those fade paint jobs are cool looking. but god help ya if you ever need to get a touch up. Its just never gonna match... so you would have to get it all redone...

Post a good side picture of your truck and I will give it a try...

But you will need to paint your bumpers.. the chrome just would not work..

I say go with vinyl before you spring for $$$ on a paint job.. Vinyl is WAY cheaper. And since i own a vinyl shop, i could hook you up.. lol And if you don't like it, just peel it off
