I think painting it would look cool. Your talking about below that body line on the bottom 1/3 of the door and bedside right? I would have it painted. I'm not a big fan of the spray liners etc. I have seen way too many of them turn milky, chaulky, or just fade.

Are you talking about black bumpers etc? That would probably be a good look.

You can get line-x xtreme or whatever that has the UV protectant in it to prevent fading. If you have it painted you're going to have to paint the whole truck or you'll have a noticeable line.

I plan to paint mine in the near future. I want to install the Alien Patrol bumpers, then paint the lower section and the bumpers beige to match the interior. It's a common color scheme with these trucks.

I don't know about black... what color is your interior?

LINE-X with LINE-X Xtra won't fade and it won't chip like regular paint.
