They look good, but unfortunately they will chip easily. That is the problem I'm encountering with mine, and I used far more paint, and let them cure a full week.

Oh oh oh! They are partial painted! Ok I get it...yeah they will chip unless they are powder coated or done with like 3-4 layers of paint and 2 layers of clear...like whathisname did.

But good luck!

I used 3 coats of primer, 4-5 coats of paint and 4 coats of clear and mine chip very easily. Powdercoat FTW.
