Exclamation 1 of 2 options

Could use some help on my dilemma. I milled some new highway plates and peg extensions out of aluminum and was gonna have them powdercoated black, put them on and started thinking hmmmm maybe I will paint the chin guard black and keep the aluminum look. That off white guard is filthy all the time anyway, and having the tins pearl white is enough.Could use some input.

Nice job on the highway peg setup. Looks good. I would paint the chin spoiler gloss black and then see if the pegs looked out of place. Probably flat black on those would keep them from standing out IMHO.

Cool. thanks for the input and kudos..I have decideded for sure to paint spoiler, gonna go with gloss black by way of Merc-cruiser,used it on an outdrive I had and was harder than a bulls dick + you don't have to clear coat it.Made the new peg set-up and adjusted hole pattern since the stock one I have was to far forward at 60mph+ , badlander seat and short legs. Now I can sell that old one. Danl

Keep the pegs as they are. Gloss black on the chin spoiler, except for the area that get hit with water, road debris, etc. Use a textured finish like the Rhino Truck Bed Liner.

Default spoiler done

I got the spoiler done and back on. I am thinking of keeping the highways stock aluminum, since I am not after the total blacked out thing.

+1 Nice job on the highway peg setup. Chrome would look great. Like the way the chin spoiler turned out.
