Underside of Bed wood

SO I see lots of info on what people refinish the bed wood with. It seems to me the underside of the wood should be finished differently since it will be subject to road debri and what not. Any good ideas on a finish for the underside?

Paint. Prep it properly and use some good stuff as this will get NO attention whatsoever.
