Damn I thought I had mine tore apart bad!You have demolished that thing since I sold it to you!

[mopar]

yes i have lol it went from a running decent truck to that thing that sits in the driveway and looks like ahunk of junk

i think i am going to stay with red b/c i hate when there is that one little spot you can see after the car/truck has had a different color put on it. and if i would change the color i would want it to be white or silver (dont show scratches as bad)

ok on a side note i am trying to decide how to paint the engine compartment. the guy that is doing the paint for me sugested doing like the firewall and the inner fenders in undercoating but i dont no if i like that idea, i think i al going to get it on the firewall b/c it has got all that sealent around the heater box and there is no way to clean that up. so whth the under coating it will have a texture and will hide some stuff. on the same lines i dont want something that is going to look like crap in a few years

[Ramzilla]

DON'T use undercoating it will get all over you and anywhere fluids get on it it will become all messy and sticky.I have seen people do it and it turns ugly.I would go with like some spray in bedliner or just spray paint it.Flat black is easiest to hide stuff and touch up later.
As for going from a decent truck look at mine.I went from a road worthy nice truck to a torn apart heap that is tore out the floor now.But seeing yours makes me feel a little better Mine isn't that tore up

[mopar]

lol, do you think the rhyno linings will hold up to the temp of the engine compartment?
