Skid Plates

Anyone ever paint their skid plates? I have been thinking about doing this to the front and gas tank skid plates.

My questions are:
Can this be done?

What kind of prep needs to be done?

What king of paint would be the best?

Anything I am forgetting?

Thanks,
Marc

If you are doing this for looks, you might want to consider taking them off, having them sandblasted and electro-powder coated.

I would use POR 15 if you want to paint the skid plates.

Its great against rust and goes on nice and thick so it shouldnt chip off easily.

Thanks for the input guys.
