Default Tail light covers SILVER

Ok..... So I painted the tail light covers to match the grill color on my 08. I held them up, and they look like DO DO on the Sunburst Orange. If anyone can can use these V Tech covers painted silver (sorry I don't know the paint code) you can have them for $45 shipped. I know this should have gone in the "for sale" section, but it would have gotten buried, and just hoping someone can use them. It's not the money, but I gotta get something for them. PM me if interested.

What silver did you use when you painted them? Bright Silver Metallic? If so, I would be interested.

Yep. Bright silver metallic. It matches my grill and headlight trim. The body shop guy took my VIN and got the paint code from Chrysler.

Yeah I think I will try again in Sunburst. No hurry. I'll probably get a set next week. Just tired of tossing $$$$$ in the crapper. I want a full grill guard too, now I'm thinking about what color on that?

Nah, I'll just get a new set. They are fairly thin and would not survive sanding off the clear coat and re-spraying. I only have $80 total in this set, just figured it best to sell them if someone wants them. I'll put em Ebay and see what happens.
