Inspired by the poster who did it in yellow I thought I would try my hand at some photoshop to see how it would look in green. Pardon the rather cartoonish nature of the color exchange as this was something I just sort of threw together. What do you guys and gals think, too much green?

What type of paint are you going to use if you do it?

If I can find the green in a rhino-liner type of paint I might go that route since that stuff is suppose to take a beating (my truck bed doesn't seem to mind).

See if you can find a body shop paint supplier. I used to work for one looonngg time ago. Most of those guys can match just about any color. I heard they can put those paint in spray cans now, along with hardener, and then maybe clear coat over it?

Oh yes, I caught that. I have a buddy of mine who was looking into powder coating some valve covers so I might see about talking to his guy about the foot guards. Suppose to be getting some $$$ in soon so I might take the plunge since I liked how it turned out in the picture.

Looks subtly awesome.
Since I've never personally had to go powder coat anything, how much does that usually cost?
