Looks awesome - any issues with paint bubble on your Joey mod?

If not, then what paint did you use as I am looking to do this mod soon!

Tmo thats going to look great when its lowered!

R99, I havent had any issues whatsoever with paint peeling, I think it all depends on the prep process.

I removed the chrome from the plastic after taking the housing apart, and then used self-etching primer after scratching the surface up. After that I just used high temp semi-gloss black paint (in a spray paint can). I did 2 coats of this. Make sure to let it dry COMPLETELY before re-assembling because I didnt I had to take my housings apart again and clean the housing off the off-gassing lol

IMO the second looks more sporty (black scoop) and goes good with the black out around the lights and black mirror caps

Black with blackout for the contrast is a WIN.

Hey "Lilgwenny", ...is your interior car trim pink? -hard to tell if it's red or pink. If pink, -i didn't know that was a color option?
(referring to her car's photo on page 247 of this thread ...click on gallery and you can see the interior shots).
