Paint underbody?

Paint underbody?
Since I have my transmission out and will be soon dropping the gas tank, it got me thinking. Should I paint the entire underbody (paint area's) or just clean it up and stick with the factory paint?
I think it would look nice to have the black underbody and I've seen it done... but then maybe a bit of a hassle at the same time. What do you think?

If you use POR-15 it has a glossy look to it but is tough as a rock. My friend painted the entire frame of his el camino project car in POR-15 and it looks good and most importantly will never rust again.
I wouldn't mind getting the underside of my Camaro all cleaned up and rust-free, then coated with POR-15.

either way would be cool.more of a personal prefrance thing.be careful of por 15.it only really liks to stick to rust or rough metal.my stock k-member is proof.

I do have a bit of time to go through and coat it. Plus the underbody is near-mint anyways, so applying paint would be easy. The quart of POR-15 I have sitting around is a satin black which should look pretty nice.
Was more of a debate on which would look better and if it would be worth the effort

I just got done doing mine I used a sprayon bedliner for the bottom with a gloss black topcoat, for the engine bay I used Eastwood engine compartment paint came out nice, just make sure you scuff up and prep everything really well.
