What you guys think? Paint Wells?

I am looking for some opinions. I have been thinking about painting the area just above the rear tire in the inner fender black. It's just a faded red overspary from the factory and it seems to just stick out to me what you guys think??

I am sure in person it would be different but I think it looks kinda cool red lol. Anyways would'nt hurt to get a quote on line xed. If that dont work just get u some gloss black paint and spray her down. I dont like using flat cause it always looks dirty and constantly repainting it.

If you want to save some $$$ and you are a DIY guy, you can buy undercoating in a can pretty cheap....it looks good on my wifes Trailblazer.

I would get a can of rubberized undercoating and use that. It will hold up better than paint and is alot cheaper than Line-X.

I painted mine with the cheap undercoating spray can from wal mart as well as my frame and axles. Looks 100 times better

rubberized undercoating works great like everyone has said.

Make sure you buy a lot of it cause it's addictive.

i did my axles, frame, wheel wells, etc, etc, etc

looked a crapload better though!

i used the spray can bedliner on mine about six months ago and its starting to peel off lol, i think i might have not put it on thick enough tho.

but if my truck was 4wd id go line-x for sure
