Oh, black just like the rim...the bowtie is orange with a thin layer of silver around it...just the difference from the top of the bowtie to the bottom of it. I will have pics up tomorrow night.

more air pressure, dont bake it, let it flow...maybe a lil more reducer too.
the clear is eurothane, and the base is polyester blend, most likely. they will lay down different.

damn those are pretty hot. Only thing it looks like the black didnt come out smooth looks more like a textured look to me. Not sure if that the pic or you made it like that. Either way looks pretty bad ass for some good old fashion DIY

Congrats on a nice job done without breaking the bank. Now I'm going to have to get my calipers done. Any pics a little further out with everything mounted on the car?
