What brand and COLOR of paint did you use?!
There's about 10 variants available!

oh - the Max is Super Black....or super CHIPPED, whichever way you want to look at it!

I'd like to use Duplicolor, as I've had good results in the past with this stuff on plastic (tw0-step)

Lemme here what you guys think looks best, in BLACK.
I was thinking somewhere between FLAT, Glossy, and not metalic -- I guess that'd be Satin or Eggshell!

thks.

Nope - i'm not going FULL STEALth like you Sooner....
We already had the TrimBrite conversation, btw!
I don't forget THAT easily.

The lower body moulding: between the wheel wells, under the doors.

This was, in fact, what i originally asked YOU about the Trimbrite for....

So - rattle-can the lower mouldings??
What say you Ghetto-MOdders!?!?
