Default Painted the arrowhead
So I got bored the other day and decided to paint the front arrowhead. Actually, it turned out real clean and it looks great! Tell me what you think. I also plan on painting the chrome around the grilles, but I need to know how they come off (if you want to help me out with this).

Looks great!

I'm not sure if I'd paint the chrome or not though, I kinda like the accents.
My bowtie is black but the chrome accent is still chrome.

Yeah, I kind of like the idea of all black, but IDK. I was looking at it from afar at school today and I thought it looked pretty good. I tried to imagine it all black LOL

i think you should have bought the overlay for it instead. you lost the little star in the center by painting it. its only 5 bucks for the overlay.

I wanted it all black. I bought a tint that I put on the red part, but I didn't like the way it looked. So I decided to paint it all black. It really looks good IMO.

Typically when I get bored I break out the playstation, not paint my car lol.

I think it looks really cool. But just because of the color of your car. I wouldn't try it on my red one. Might as well floor it and go for the chrome too!
