i guess that's better than nothing... do you have a common color like black or white? i can't match my own paint for sh*t... pearl white is a trip to match.Originally Posted by swowlinc

The aerosol can is a little expensive but it matches pretty well.
Congrats snowlinc on your body kit. I know you wanted to buy my lip but it just didnt make munch sense with shipping.

rrr you guys and your non-pearl colors...... i'd have to get a basecolor (and pray it was the right base color), and then their "make it pearl!" stuff to repaint anything on my car. which is why this bish is turning blue in 2010. but i really don't think the unpainted kit looks that bad on dark cars.. like rick's.

If you haven't read it already, search for my "Budget CHO" thread. At the time, it was better than the black bumper, but i'm pretty much sick of it now, bumper looks like a toasted marshmallow.Originally Posted by CapedCadaver

I would either take it to a shop to have it painted or not paint it at all. Rattle can paint usually isn't compatible with other brands. If you've ever tried a Rustoleum clear over a Krylon base coat you'll know what i mean. It wrinkles up in seconds. That means that if you ever decide to have it painted to match the car later down the road they might have to sand off ALL that old paint. That equals time and money, even if you strip it yourself.
Oh yeah.... and PLEASE paint it before you install it. Otherwise it just looks broke.
