Might be worth at least giving them a good coat of underseal as they'll get plenty of stone thrown up at them.

Galv coating will only be thin and if it gets chipped the metal will rust just like any other bit of steel so its probably worth just taking 5 minutes and coat them in underseal 
where did you get them from by the way? im after a set for mine

Thanks to both for the feedback, I will indeed give them an underseal
Got them out of Paddocks Sam; they had steal but I decided to get the Galv coated: I expected Brit part but they are unlabeled or marked so not sure: They are really quite good quality, good thickness and well made, I'm happy with them.
Paddocks item number is:
Left Mudshield - Galvanised (MRC6082GALV)
Right Mudshield - Galvanised (MRC6081GALV)
Steering Box Cover - Galvanised (330459GALV)

Personally i'd go the whole hog and get them t-washed and then a good coat of paint and then underseal, the more protection on there the better

You need to use mordant solution on the galv first so that the paint will stick to it.

I replaced mine last year but didn't realise galv ones were available then. They would probably be fine even if left unpainted. The zinc fuses into the steel to should be pretty resistant to stone chips as its more than just a coating. Certainly galv chassis seem to bear up fine. I would paint them though, just for peace of mind. I think YRM metal also supply these liners now.

I had the steal ones on my wishlist for ages at Paddocks; like most peoples list its always bigger than my wallet I cant even remember how the Galv ones appeared on the screen, when I did a search they didint show; it wasn't until the last minute of ordering I spotted them, glad I did. Appreciate everyone's feedback and ideas thanks to all.
