Default finally painted my lowers

sorry no pics. I pretty much messed it up though! I found out my right lower is cracked so i painted it anyway. now I need to figure out a way to fix the crack. When I demasked the front the paint stuck to the tape and started pullin off in a few sections. so I had to repaint that side. The front and rear look awesome though. makes a huge difference. I have yet to clear top coat them so hopefully they will come out better when thats done and i fix the spots i messed up. overall job; good from far, far from good... but looks ok considering I have no idea what i'm doing. and i was halfway high from the paint... hahah! I also painted my fog light covers that looks pretty good too. the painted lowers make it look like a have "nice" body kit and overall i'm happy with it.

next project: window tints, red calipers, and medal pedals.

then a little bump in the trunk...

yeah silver is a good match. Radiant silver by duplicolor. I had the paint for over a month before I finally had the time to do it. Cheap Mod that makes a huge difference. I know I need pics! I can't afford a digital camera though. and I dont want to get flamed for all the spots I messed up. haha! but you can only see them if you are looking for them you know?

Flamed, Shmamed.....

By posting your pics, that allows other users that have no idea what they're doing to see if they think they can pull it off or not.
I may look at your pics and say, "hmmm....well - for not knowing what he was doing - he did pretty good, I'll give it a shot"

Or.

I may look at them and say, "If that's what I have to look forward to, my dumbazz better leave it to the pros"

Either way, it's helpful - so post 'em up!
