Just getting home ..... give a little work on the 715 this afternoon .... The bedliner coating is now finished .... look very nice !!
And i have prepped the frame. diffs and others acc for the painting ...... So 1 gallon of POR-15 went under the truck this afternoon .... everything got the treatment, the only place left is the cab floor pan between the frame rail and under hood. Will be painting them when the powertrain will be out for the swap.

What were you doing ?? Keep the undercarriage black or painted OD like the rest of the truck ??
Nice job ! Havent been here for a while , so I havent seen this. I believe I would have went with the Cummins , if I did it again. I have had two 1st gen trucks since I built my M715 and love those Cummins. I didnt know how bad to the bone they were especially when Hot rodded.:happy10:
Dont quit, or cut corners, you will be glad when your done.:D
I vote black.
all of the underhood and undercarriage on my truck is getting flat black. it is the only way to go

So the undercarriage will be black .... if i ever change my mind i will surely very easy to paint OD over the por-15
Also ... i'm not sure of doing it .... since i must paint lusterless white stars on the doors and hood .... what about the JEEP letters on the tailgate ?? leave them OD or paint the same lusterless white than the stars ??
You may want to topcoat the POR15 as it is UV sensitive. If it sits outside, the Sun will hit some of your undercarriage. Just use a good Quality flat or gloss black, if you want to keep it black.
