Thanks. When I put the order in, I didn't think about painting the frame. I had 30 days to modify the order. I called dealer back and asked about doing the undercarriage. I had the body done in Dupont Viper Blue Pearl Elite, so figured that Dupont Viper Red would be a good choice. Learned also that by requesting another paint, that the corrosion resistance on the underside would go up by 80%. Seems that the basic black is just applied by whomever makes the components. If you request a different color, then the factory has to seal, prime, and paint the underside before the body is put on. Not bad, good looking, better corrosion resistance, and all for $285 extra on the order. No matter the color, I would recommend anyone ordering a truck ask for a different paint on the underside. Cheap protection.
Just wish the truck still looked that pretty now. Salt and crud in the winter can really take away from the looks. Oh well, summer will come again!
