Ya I gotta get some paint on them before they start rotting out. Jk I've painted them and had them painted and it don't work out when I power wash it. I was thinking about wrapping it but I'm so used to it it don't really bug me. Most of the time it's covered by dirt anyway so f it.

Ya 250k and I'd go cross country with it. That's why I got the super duty. 5.4 for life eh!?

What about Plastidip? Perhaps that would work better.
