Default New picture With Painted Grille and SS Mirrors

Well i got done installing my mirrors and grille. Im not happy with how the paint matched so i will respray them in the future. But the mirrors and grille look mucho better anyway! Let me know what you think. Oh yea, i also took the helper spring out yesterday to level out my drop!

Yea that's happen to me with the duplicolor spray paint. One can will match perfect, the next can will be too light or dark.

Don't think of it as $450 wasted on paint that doesn't match. Think of it as Silver Birch Custom blend.
Just use it for some ghost flames...or when u take the frame off & spray that.

I'm just tryin to make light of an unfortunate situation.
