I'll try to get a pic tomorrow and post it before I go to work. Did you use a fairly metallic type paint because they look sparkly?

I color matched mine with the paint I ordered for my tails and headlights.

I used about 8 coats of silver dupli-color spray paint (im surpised they match the car paint so well) Then I used about 4 coats of clear coat and I let them dry over night.

kk i guess ill have to buy real paint then, haha.

[RedScorp]

I used 2-3 coats of the paint I ordered to match my car and 1-2 shots of clear.

EDIT: Here's the pic I promised.

They look speckly, because i just got done with the clear coat, i also used a semi-gloss black paint, it was still wet when i took the pics

Looks good! Wow, I might think of doing this myself too. I really like how you did the gray just wonder if white would look ok?

You dont have to use it but I would so it doesnt chip easy.

Why dont you use a flat black then use 1 coat of clear? It wont be glossy.

[KeWLKaT]

yeah flat black with a matte clear coat doesnt look glossy :D

[Tricked]

Flat black rustoleum works great. I did that on my Sentra and now there's no more getting blinded by the metal reflecting the sun.

That looks really cool, what color would you do for a blue Elantra GT with red and white stripes on the side?
