That looks nice, and it matches your rims nicely. Another successful mod....

Thank you

hey, why are you copying my color scheme, man! j/k, mine is really a 'Aluminum'.

I used Auto Strauss Hi Temp paint, Aluminum color.
$5/can I used only 1/3 of it. 3 coats.

It the paint get rust or peeled off, I will go with chrome next time.

Don't you dare to use Chrome now, everyone!!!!!

no clear.

I don't know what is the purpose for clear coating, so I skip it.

maybe I should?
