that's funny, because it does look like you painted them gunmetal already! Show us the finished product when you're done.

Well! I have completed one of my project.

I am pleased with the results. they "blend" in more than the silver with the rims:

BEFORE:
(these frist two pictures are reallly bad angles... my car looks 'small' but its because im on a hill and im 6'5 haha)

AFTER

THIS is from about 20 ft away with one time zoom...

This is from about 40-50 ft away (taken from street) with 1x zoom

There are small imperfections because i was stupid and i didnt let the paint dry good enough before i put them on and i started to run out of paint (did 2 coats) but they are only noticable when your "right on it"

tell me how you think this looks

(SIDE NOTE: i am thinking about getting some angel eyes in 2 weeks let me hear your opinions)

you can do most of the work yourself.
The rims, just leave it like that :)
The fender grills (eww...), did they cut the fenders or just some sticky back?
