I'll just snip the clips off, paint insert, and hold back together with silver zip ties. When I add the fog lights I'll have to move the inserts anyway, so it's only temp

Recap.. I cleaned em off with dawn wash and a rag, then ipa wipedown with towel & q - tips. Let dry, 3 coats of adhesive promoter, with 2.5mins in between each coat. 5 mins after the last coat I did one paint coat. Let dry for 1hr & 15min. Hit with second paint coat. Same dry time, then 3 layers of flat clear coat with 5 mins dry time in between. PICS ;

my top notch drying rack

This fgt took forever to tape up

Half/half with one coat

What the back looked like finished. Didn't care about perfection at that point

With no cover on

INSTALLED

With the cover on

How this silver compares to the stock

Money shot

Overall super stoked how it came out! Especially being my first paint project. Love the contrast to the front and it's flow with the cleared lights/badges/wheels/brake ducts. Sorry they're dirty, shitty ass driveway pics. Maybe I'll get more next wash

Edit. Ignore the dirty af engine bay. Never detailed it yet. And the over spray on the cover was already there

Looks good and the silver is kind of close to matching haha. Close enough.

 

[Ginger]

not bad.


since you are bassmaster, im sure when your driving one of them will fall out. its the bassmaster way

 

[Bassmaster]

Nah it should be fine. My bassmasterness already happened with the tape. Explained in VATSN thread lol

Edit. And Chris I'm glad it ended up being a different silver. If it was stock color it wouldnt pop really imo. Mine doesn't have the full POP to it like I hoped, but that's prolly cause the 3 coats of flat clear. Still love it though

[Khaos]

Semi gloss clear would've made it pop a bit more, but it looks good as is imo

 

[Bassmaster]

:word:, I got the flat to try and hide the shit loads of metallic flake in the silver. Figured better safe than redo lol
