It came with black powder coat, but I wanted it red, so I put some red plastidip and the glossifier stuff on it.

Its a "skid plate" lol the way I see it is I am so OCD that I will probably have to repaint it every month. But in any case I dont think there is anything we really can do to keep it from chipping, but I tried that plastidip since I know it is flexible and pliable so hopefully that works out.

Lol alright, also when you engage 4x4 (if you are a 4x4), does your truck "chirp" when going straight? The chirping would be comparable to the chirping that happens when you turn in 4x4.
