Looks clean. Damn nice man. I'm gonna have to get a bigger set of tires. I bet that will make a huge diff in mine too. I like the all black thing you got going on. BUt I do agree, you need to debadge and loose the chrome steps. Black steps would look good for steps, personally I don't like steps.

You could do those too, I'd start with a 120g and and down the crhome real good before a good 2 or 3 coats of a quality primer. You can then either dry or wet sand the primer; if you dry sand, then recoat and wet sand you'll get an smoother paint; when you wet use a goot wet/dry paper around 400g for primer then paint about three coats and wet sand with atleast 800 andd moer paint light wet sand, the a good clear and wet sand with no less than 1200 and buff out with a good rubbing compound. you could also try a rought sand with a self etching primer, the worst that could happen is you have to sand it down. A palm DA really hepls with the prep and primer dry sand, always wet sand by hand. One more tip, when sanding primer, take a can of the opposite color and quicly spray a coat of "dots" on the surface and thats will help toy to see the "peel" int the surface and help you get it as smooth as possiable. I know its long and complicated but it gives the best results I did this for half ayear in a body shop, I've seen that a half assed paint job looks like.
