Haha, well at least I'm not the only one. They still look good from a distance, but you get up close and it looks terrible. What is with the chrome parts? Is it a GM thing, or do all chrome parts tend to have similar issues?

Get some undercoat spray and paint your frame. Use some Rustoleum Rust Converter spray first, which is black, and spray everything that is rusting. Then use one of the many undercoating sprays and cover everything. Will take you about one hour.

It will look like new afterwards, or at least it will all be black. You just need to touch it up every time you go off-road, or every few months if you don't.

Do you just crawl underneath, or use a highlift? Mine's a leased vehicle, and I may or may not keep it at the end. Do you think they will mind the painting when I go to turn it back in? If I keep this car afterwards, I would probably look back and have wanted to coat everything now.
