Ya I didn't even think of that. I may just take this off in a couple weekends and do the bedliner as well

I think you should go for it. I took mine off and hit it with bedliner and it turned out great and is holding up nicely.

Any certain brand? Or just any undercoating from autozone will do? Unless undercoating is different... Also any prep work before spraying it?

I think it was rustoleum. I would stay away from undercoating. I originally tried using that and it was really easy to scratch up and peel off. I ended up completely stripping the undercoating off and repainting with bedliner. I hit it with some 150 grit and properly cleaned it before painting. 3-4 coats.

Plasti dip is a good option as long as you do it right from the beginning, I did my OEM mag wheels about 5 months ago, ride back and forth from Louisiana to Texas very often and still holding up pretty darn good, no chipping or peeling yet, been through a few car washes and can't say I'm disappointed with the results, only downside is that they're kind of hard to keep them clean, have to scruff off mud and dirt but nothing hard.

I think if i had a black saleen grill it would look even better. I'm still on the fence about this one.

Ill be interested as to how this turns out. I have the same paint combo as you and I've been debating on painting the grill black.
