Project Paint Match (Pics)
Here are some pics of my painted antenna base. I was tired of looking at the faded looking plastic.
It's really easy to do if you have a few hours to do it...I will be doing my tailgate latch as soon as time permits!
I started off by wet sanding down w/ 400 grit, worked up to 600 then 800 grit to get a smooth appearance...I put 4 coats of Mopar Austin Tan Pearl Coat touch up paint (spray can, $13ish at dealer) and some Mopar Clear Coat, and a new spare antenna base .96 cents....Then I finished it up w/ a little bit of "Fukken Wax"

After a wet sanding them (I ended up sanding down more for a smoother finish)
