: Looked at an '08 today.

I saw an '08 this morning while driving by a dealership, so I stopped to look at it up close, especially under the body and I noticed a few things:
1) Ground clearance is pretty good, underbody is all flat with nothing protruding, so it's all good.
2) Stock exhaust is tucked under pretty well, it's hidden and the tips are very nice, no exhaust upgrade for me in the future.

Question:
3) I noticed that everything under is painted gray, is that just paint or some kind of rustproofing special paint?

No one can tell me what kind of paint is used for the undercarriage and axles...?
I thought it was bare metal like my RT is, but it looks completely different, so I'm curious to know what they used, and has anyone started seeing rust on their rigs?

I think we all have that same color under ... Dark Grey, just like our '08-'09 interior
Not sure if it is Rust Proof or not though.

At least there's something there paintwise, it's not bare metal.
