Rep Power: 310 yeah, i removed EVERYTHING. the only thing i masked off was the pocket of the dash. i didn't wanna try and paint the inside of it and get the paint running.

Rep Power: 310 i'll try and get some better pictures tomorow with the light hitting it. i think the only reason it look white is because its a light silver and my pda doesn't take the best pics in the world, but if you were to see it in person you wouldn't mistake it for being white.
the only reason i used the clear coat is to add a little protection from minor scratches. you can see it shine a little when the light hits it, but i really just wanted it to help protect the paint.

i did it because 1. it was cheaper and 2. you don't have those huge black gaps between areas.

This is posted in the SoCal section... Don't know how we would trade if we're in different parts of the coutry... maybe you guys have better ideas...

I seen the title of this thread and laughed kinda hard... I really didn't know what to expect but man I feel dumb now! that looks really really good.
