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 (did2 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)

nope I didn't clearcoat it bcuz I wanted it to be flat so that it would match the rims. I think they look fine

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?
