Ha ha, yeah i do. My step dad is going to paint my hood shortly and all i have to do is buy the paint. I got a buddy that does detali at a local GM dealer hes gonna wet sand it, buff and wax it. He wet sanded his gmc thats dark blue n got 225k on the ticker and it looks better than a new truck.

Looks sick man. I've been waiting to paint mine black also. Just haven't had the time or cash to get good paint.

If you're gonna tint the lights do it right. Actually have them painted by a pro and not out of some rattle can.

Did mine 3 years ago with a spray can and they still look good. Its all in prep work not an expensive gun.

Did you do your lights or your grill?
I was speaking of doing headlights with a can. I have already painted one of my grills with rattle can and it looked just fine. I know prep is the most important step of the paint process.

Yeah I was talkin bout the lights. Im not knockin what you said friend, I know some look down on paint in a can, but I have done some really good work with spray cans. I mean brand wise yeah it depends on how its mixed, but in the end as long as the color is achieved, the clear is what gives it the shine.
