Default My new skid plate

I Finally got around to almost finishing one of my many projects a 1/4" 6061 alum skid plate. I just need to drill holes for the center bolts and drain plug. I was thinking of spraying it with Rhino Liner otherwise it will just get sand blasted from tire spray. So what do you guys think?.

For highway use, go with the Rhino Liner. . . . off-road use only, leave it unpainted. Man. . . is that ever a heavy-duty unit! Love it. . . .

Way to go. Save yourself ~$90, and be proud of something you made with your own two hands. I fabbed one up for my bike this last summer, just haven't posted up the story and pics yet.

that looks like a heavy piece there. I'm sure that will last for a long time. Looks good.
