4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
i have the allpro skid plate which comes in bare metal and I need some opinions on to rattle can primer and rustoleum it or powder coat it. I do some offroad trailing but realistically the fj is on the road most of the time and the snow and salt in PA is a major concern. I also realize powdercoating will give better protection but when it chips or scratches it will be harder to repair.
I rattled my Buds...because I decided you can't really see them..and when you scratch them..because..you're going to...that it will be a lot easier to just hit them with more spray paint. Actually the only skid that looks good is the front one..the others I didn't really worry about as long as I got them painted black.

Bingo. I rattled mine black.
