waynekarnes Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 real nice ! i was debating, if i ever get mine painted ... color match to the car or keep it contrasting grey or black ... i like the contrast ! looks excellent !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akeizm Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Yea that looks alot better. I repainted mine cause of sun spots all over it with a dark gunmetal and it turned out pretty nice. I might re-do it though cause the paint is chipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian260ZT Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Did any of you use the SEM Charcoal Metallic Trim paint? This was referenced as a near perfect match on the Zlist years ago. Thanks, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RCNSC Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 That looks awesome man! I also want to know how to paint the chrome. I think I've read you need a D/A sander....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynekarnes Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 think i'm gonna post a new message under body and paint ... i feel bad about hi jacking this thread ... even if it is about painting ... a dual action sander ... yeah .. you need to scuff the chrome, but you can do that with a 3m scouring pad. meet me at the new thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
