Default working on some stuff...

it turned into a paint fest thanks silverbullet...but what happened was i had some gutter left over and i cut some round pcs to fit in my fog bezels nicely and well they were a lil faded so i figured id paint them well after painting them i decided i didnt want the gutter in there cause they are nice and well black now...so i decided to also paint my step pad on my front bumper while i was at it...its all out drying right now and ill post pics later so let me have it cause i know how useless a thread is with out pics ...
these ar my bezels the last is what it could look like with gutter but i dont think ill use it now...

Your a better man than me, I could only manage lower lids, the upper eyelids I used vht they are just what was promised minimal surface change and very nice color I already have my paint gonna lightly go over too match rest of truck. Vinyl lids are a pita ask matt99 he tore 'em off cuz it wasn't the look he was after.
(mines an o6 there is acurve that is nasty to cover w/out bubbles or folds)
