Default started painting some parts...

I got the paint bug the other day and started to paint a few pieces.... more will follow but I'm testing these first. Used Dupli-color rattle cans primer, paint, and clear. Color match is almost perfect

two coats primer & sealer.. 3 coats paint and 3 coats clear....It is the pioneer I had to get one with the usb plugs and controls for my iphone.

I'm gonna paint the mirrors and maybe handles next... I think this paint is almost a dead match..

Looks good. I painted my intake cover white and it is starting to yellow a bit. I thought about painting it gloss black. Damn dd just gets too dirty all the time.
