Post rear end color matching on the sierra

well guys i took off my sticker collection from my rear window and color matched my complete rear end the bumper plastics, tailgate lip, and tailgate bezel. I did it with pewter met 11 dupli-color. The collors match really well almost perfect so now hopefully it just lasts on their. Too bad its most likely leaving my driveway this afternoon for 6grandes oh well, let me know what you guys think of her new look

they were touching a little on the driver side tip when i got them welded in but they meleted the plastic to the round shape of the tip so they no longer touch. why? could that affect the paint? or catch my truck on fire...
