Well, when it chipps it'd be gray... because of the primer. It'd have to be a hell of a chip to go through the clear, 3 layers of base, and the primer... to find its way to the black plastic underneath If this one gets chipped over the years, I'll snap it off and re-paint it.

IT'S RAINING RIGHT NOW [:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@].....shok and ross, they both look pretty shnazzy, i like.

shok, you can get s-yo bulbs from lltek, or you can just use high temp silver paint and coat your stock amber bulbs...

a4anonymous, i'm going to paint my rings along with the outer trim, i'll post some pics when it's done...

So just high temp silver paint? any particular brand of paint? Will they still shine orange -- I want to keep things legal, cops are picky about that sorta thing.

i like krylon...and they should still light up amber, just dont put too many coats on...i'd say two at the most, one if you can get a clean coat the first time...
