yeah that looks good jay. I'll have to try that out sometime soon. Sure beats the old faded black look. How'd you finally get the middle piece out? Also, you got any pics of how you secured the guttah grill to the fogs?

yeah silver said to squeeze the nipple on the retainer and the head of the screw would come out just a lil enough to grab it with another pair of needle nose and just unscrew it there four and it take about 10 minutes...i 86d the idea of the gutter in the fogs after the black paint was dried i liked the black fresh look better....and these pics show that all was done but the bottom lip i will be scouting out a newer on thats not damaged....my upper valance needs a real coat as that has some rock chips and all my handles are next on the list as mirrors and wiper cowl...its all faded....

looks great jay... this has been on my list for awile now, i plan on doing all outside handles, plastic steps on bumpers, bumper insert, eyelids... i'm gunna need a lotta paint.
did you put clear over the paint or just use color match and call it good??
how hard was it to get the bumper step off??
i had a bich of a time getting that bumper insert... ended up cutting them off and reattatching it with real bolts.

your paint code is prolly the same as mine and i went out on a limb and used krylon fusion for plastics i used it on my heads inside and it looked like a good match well i used it on the bezels too to see if it looked good well it matches so close you cant tell a difference....no clear either...i dunno if that will hurt me or not...i plan to do all the handles i think inside and out....
