i used dupli-color black...and i went with a semi gloss..... the only think to watch out for i when you are removing the tape....i thought i had left them in the freezer long enough and a little bit of the chrome plating came off.....other than that it was pretty straight forward....

Looks good!!

I was going to make the same suggestion with the gas door. Black nerf bars and painted bumpers and grill shell would really top things off.
