what did you use to paint it?

Bumper coating or just flat black paint?

Flat black is the actual color of the CETA. I did the same it and it is a great contrast. Two thumbs up!

Let me rephrase that. It's left unpainted which gives a flat black look to it.

It doesn't really stand out from the blue very much, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think a graphite/silver color or black would have looked better, or just factory NBM, but it's definitely an improvement from before

Yeah or like a charcoal color but I think it will look good later on when I get some wheels that are a similar color
