Nicely done. Did you prime the door pulls?

I'm interested to see how they hold up.
So far mine have held up extremely well, but I used a different method.

I actually already painted my grill the same color

I sanded & used an adhesive primer... I also used a base coat used for the metalcast paints. I liked this color so much that I ended up painting my window trim the same color yesterday.

Oh ok.
Good. I was hoping you did so the paint would stick.

Pics of the window trim?

I'll try & take some pics sometime this week to show the window trim. I think it turned out pretty good & like it better than the chrome. A few pieces are a little bent from when we took the trim off, but I was able to get all the parts back on. I will get the trim professionally painted when I eventually re-paint my car.

great job!

I think your rear emblem is a lil crooked, unless I'm ****-eyed!!

either way it's just a minor adjustment.

there are no scree holes, just two holes to guide the emblems. They're very easy to break off also.

I just looked at it again, they still look off!!!

It probably was a lil crooked... I didn't have good double sided tape when i took those pics, but I bought a better one & re-attached it so it's straight.

I also tried to take pics w/ my phone, but it's pretty gloomy outside & the camera on my phone isn't that good. I"m going to add the pics in a bit

Here are pics of the window trim painted. Once again... I apologize for the crappy pics from my phone.

side shot:


front section:


middle section:


rear section:


here are a couple some-what better pics of the grill:



*I think the front section is a little lighter than the other parts, but I'm not too worried about it right now. I'll probably end up buying more paint & re-spraying it. I like how it turned out because I really didn't like the chrome around the windows. My door handles are still chrome & I will probably end up painting those the same color when I have time.
