Wow this stuff works good! Lol and i kinda like them black. It made the glossy black when the chrome came off. But I will paint them white later. Gonna scuff them later and hit em with some perfect match from autozone

Getting ready to paint them. My retro fit-image-3716300286.jpg Got them painted and halos glued on. My retro fit-image-2646762831.jpg Halos turned on to see how they look on the shrouds. My retro fit-image-3390903301.jpg

only thing I did like is the white paint on one of the shrouds got a little rough. No big deal not really noticeable. May try to touch It up tomorrow. May not. I dunno. I'm just ready for the rest of my stuff to come in dang it!

You did like the paint being rough? By the following statement I'm guessing you meant you diddnt.

If so, buy some 200-300 grit sand paper, sand her down to bare black, put some primer on it, then lay a really really light coat on it, then wait about 30-45 mins, then do it again. This is the worse part lol. Then lay about 3-4 more and shell be brand new.
