Looks pretty decent - looks like you used a gloss black? I would probably have gone with a flat or matte.

+1.... It does look ok tho.



Next, I guess is your factory lip kit?

[joshjosh619]

i think i am going to use back to black on those plastic pieces (factory lip), after i finished painting i think it would have looked better with a flat black. but i used kylon black gloss and a few coats of primer. i am going to paint the rims sometime this week and am just going to use primer on them. hopefully that will pull everything together.

I need anew front bumper cause the paint is peeling incredibly bad. a dump truck spilled stones in front ov me and f'd my front end

yeah go for the rims, im planing on painting mine as well whenever i find some free time

[joshjosh619]

the hardest part about paint the rims is that i am gonna have to find some blocks to set my car on for a day or 2. man, cars take up way to much time and money

The rims shouldn't take that much time. My buddy painted my snowflakes gold in a matter of 4 to 5 hours. Don't ask me how, but it came out amazing

yeah i agree but for me its totally worth it.

i mean anything that i can do to a car for cheap to make it look a little better and different is worth it.

looks good. job well done.

[ScaryFatKidGT]

not digging the spoiler but the rest of the painting looks awsome

did you pull the handles off of the car to paint or did you just tape everything up...my front door handles are being a bitch to put back on...theres a big gap like its hitting something, and it would be ten times easier if i pulled the window out first but, that looks like a learning curve that i don't want to take...lol

Are you instilling them with the window up all the way? Seating the bottom of the handle all the way in flush, before starting on the bolts?

Had that problem before, a long time ago. :wink:

[counterbond]

yea window was all the way up both bolts went in fine then i looked and there was a gap between the top of the handle and the door...

[joshjosh619]

when i painted everything i did it with the handles on and left the mirrors on as well. i took the spolier off to paint it.
