So I have found these and I am picking them up in the AM. What color would really look trick on my X? Suggestions?

Skids look awesome green or any bright color. But black blends with frame and easier to touch up...

Dirt shows on bright colors too. Like mine in the picture.

CLEAR! With GLITTER!!! :zomg:


Nah, if it were me I'd just go black. You can't really see skids until you're under there anyway, so why make 'em all flashy? If I were hanging skids on my X, I'd go black on all of them but the radiator skid - and I'd paint that SOB something nice and bright. I vote neon green, but I also really like the idea of camo.

Lots of great ideas. Thanks! I will give them all (even the rainbow and pink) consideration.

Did you fine those from the Craigslist thread on here? That guys price kept getting lower and lower I was hoping someone would take advantage and jump on these!

I did get them off of craigslist from Louisville. The guy was moving out of state. He had the skids on the same color and year as mine. He sold it a while back.

I have tried to glitter mine. I used a clear coat that when the sun hits it its "suppose" to shimmer. It doesn't.
Maybe when it's time for a touch up i'll just throw glitter on the wet paint. LOL

You could also paint a graphic of some sort on the front skid, dunno what your style is but a big ol' Jolly Roger might look cool. Punisher skull, 'Merican flag, flame job, spatter paint, paintball spray could look cool. Something that you wouldn't mind getting beat up of course.

Ok so I found a nice textured paint with what I think is a cool color. Has a nice glittery shine to it as well. Just need a warmer dry day
