Thanks! It was definitely an inexpensive mod and I'm pleased with the results. Painting is definitely no fun lol.

Yeah, that's what I meant haha. Sorry for the confusion.

Silver has been applied. Time to cure, sand, and paint some more lol. Then I'll mask off certain areas and shoot the black and hopefully get to clear coat everything this weekend.

Ran into issues with the paint adhering to the shrouds so I'm going to have to sandblast them. I took it as an opportunity to play around with a paint scheme. What do you think? I'm not sure if I like it yet...

Thanks. I am not sold on it yet. Kinda looks a bit busy I think.

On another note, I finally swapped out my interior lights for LEDs. What a difference! All that's left are my 3rd brake light and my retrofits which will have switchbacks and led side markers.

I don't think it looks busy at all. I think boomers are painted very similar to yours except black and tan and they look nice as well. They look like someone took their time building them instead of just throwing them together

Late to the party but I love the changes you made from when you first bought it. I too do not like much chrome. I also REALLY wish Tuscany would sell their hoods separately
