    I painted this weekend Too ( 56k not recommended)

    Well I was showing my wife the pics of the trim painting that RamThis did on his car so we decided to do the same on ours and we also did the bumper and door trim, and the front grille. I used the nightshades paint I got from keruhas184 to tint the front corner lamps.
    Hope you guys like the shots I took...

    Wow paint came out really good. I think your corners would lOok better cleared or smoked. Good job.

    Wow, that looks awesome, it really makes your paint stand out nicely!

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    i know after seeing that forum i wanted to do that to. and those side marker lamps look soo sexy, and the trim on the fiptop lights looks amazing, im soo doing that once i can afford the paints, (im such a broke ass) and as soon as it stops being gay weather in renton (we converted our garage into a recording studio. so yeah) i love it. i love it i love it. mines a dark blue stock color so we will se how it turns out. im posting pics for sure.

    lol thats cool, thats funny how most of us jumped to the paint shit after that trim pain thread. i know i did, but i didnt want to do it on the car so i figured out how to take off the trim from all around without damaging anything! good job dood

    89cordlxi your car just keeps geting better and better...cant wait to see it when we have a bay area meet. i want to paint every trim part....but i dont have a good paint job yet....its still in primer. what kind of paint did you use? i like the gloss on it....now you just have to get your windows tinted and it will turn out sick.
