So i decided to go ahead and spend the week doing up the car to look pretty for the big PA meet
Apperance Mods I did this week:
Painted front bumper
Painted grills
Painted headlight housing
Painted Tailights
Painted Calipers
Painted Rims
35% Tints FRONT

ALOT of time and sweat was put into this
Help from the local cobalt crew aswell
My Boys D-unit, Spasmodic, FF Drift, Hectic, and the girlfriends
I didnt do the third brake light because I have a overlay coming
I forgot to put the bowtie on for the meet lol, btw There was ALOT of balts there I have pics but thats for the other thread

its more tidius then anything, just clean the spot your gonna paint ALOT, sand it down some, paint, then paint, then paint again wet said then clear coat it, depends on the spot.
Rims= TIME (clean, sand, paint, paint, paint, wet sand, paint, clear coat lol)
Lights= TIME (heat, pry open, tape, clean, sand, paint, paint, clear coat,)
Calipers= easy (Clean, clean, clean, paint, paint, paint, dry)
Body=TIME(clean, sand lol you get the point lol its all tidius

the calipers?
They were caroated (sp?)
if thats not what your talking about...then what do you mean I didnt leave IT flat black, I am not sure what part your asking about,
The rims are flat black, everything else is gloss black! maybe that answers lol..?

it is all black, its just glossy, I think it looks really nice glossy, matched the grills to the bumpers because it flowed nicer, it was stock grill color and it just didnt look right so I matched the grills to the bumper so it looks ILL lol
