there are write ups that you can read that tell you how you can paint it factory colors and make it look good using rattle cans. billet is easier and looks better in most cases IMO

Do you live in a bubble? "no place i can paint it"

Step 1. go to walmart and buy sand paper and black paint.

step 2. remove your emblem

step 3. go outside, sand the thing down and paint it.

final step: once dry, put the thing back on.

you can do it within an hour. the longest part is letting it dry.

The only thing i didn't do on mine is sand it. I just cleaned it off with alcohol and then painted it. Sanding it first woulda looked a lil better.

I would most certainly be down for doing that. if youd like PM me your information and ill get it out this week.



viciousknid: I live in an Apt complex that heavily frowns on that.... and i dont want to have a random kid walk up and touch it if i run inside for a minute or two.
