basic walmart paint... i paint xbox's daily so i have skillz. I believe its called krlyon fusion. first i sanded the glittery stuff off of it so the paint will stick. just wetsanded with 180 grit till it was all off and smooth. 1 coat of prime, 3 coats of black, 2 coats of clear. let it dry between coats i let dry for 2-3 hours to be safe then after clear coat it i let it sit for 12-14 hours to dry. then i jsut slapped them back on.

Looks good. I've been thinking about doing that for a while b/c I used to mod computer boxes quite a bit, but I'm afraid I'll f**k up the car...

Good job on yours, tho.

you dont want to look at it close up next weekend... its ugly theres one big print on the top on the passenger side trim and its a magnet for dust. but i used walmart krylon fusion plastic paint, its like 1$ a can.
