The handles were very easy to paint. I very lightly sanded them down, then applied a coat of adhesion promoter, then several coats of black and finished it up with clear. The whole process was maybe an hour and a half or two hours.

I had the front level at one point but wasn't crazy about it. Decided to go back to stock bc I just liked the way it looked a little better.

Thanks for letting me know if you find anyone looking for the steps.

Yes, I used spray paint that matches the truck color. But it was only like $4.99 at pep boys.

Really nice job on the truck, I like it a lot. Your tempting me to buy some of those black out headlights, they look great. I've got to resist though, I bought this truck so I could stop putting money into my truck and just focus on payments. I know once I start putting money into my truck, I won't be able to reverse the cycle lol. Good job again!
