Yeah i'd really like to see them painted a body color, like red or blue or that hugger orange color, i think it'd look sweet! but i'd have to see it to be sure.

Looks like it would look pretty damn good painted body color. Now we just need someone to go out and do it on their car.

Hey nineball, i'm sure you've heard this from many people, but those are sweet rides you have there, I think I'm kinda jealous. lol

Do you think I should do it in a flat black or a coated glossy black? I like the flat look but I haven't seen the glossy look.

I dunno, I did mine in a semi-gloss black and i love the look, it's so mean now . I would imagine someone on here has done there's in a gloss black, it would probably look great as well.

I used Dupl-Color Acrylic Enamel..... worked great, covers nicely, got it at Discount Auto. I'm sure there's others that can be used.
