Looking good man, thought you were gonna spray it gold ahah

Personally I'd have chosen a less shiny black because I think really shiny is tacky.

Nonetheless, well done :)

DIY of removing the trim pieces?

[MR_LATE]

yeah i think i asked for too much gold LOL cuz crystal black was straight black.. nah no picks of diy for trim pieces

[ExpressCoffee]

Have you put it in yet or are you that eager you wanted to show some pics now? :p

[MR_LATE]

no not yet, still have to sand and 1 more coat of clear then sand then rubbing compound then polish. cause right now its got the orange peel-feel and im going toattempt to make smooth finish
pm me your email

[ExpressCoffee]

Oh so there's more to be done? That sounds good then!

most definately. got a whole lot of sanding to be done tomro :P

[nxn75u]

coz you have done the door trims, will you be darkening the chrome list around the side windows as well?

[nesterjester]

Looks good man. I can see the gold specks. Does it show up in the dark? Did you get rid of that orange peel feel?

[MR_LATE]

I won't be doing the chrome trims. I like the chrome tbh, it gives it some balance. That is because i reckon chrome is vital in a black car. If it was on any other colored car,i would most probably considerdoing it.
Andrew. Haven't had time to sand it yet but i think i got the jist of it lol. Pray to God hey
