I bought a new trim piece, thought I'd have fun with the old one and paint it Tamiya silver leaf just for fun! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Talk about bling, bling!!!!

Just wanted to see how it looked...I'll paint the new one black today and put it on. The new part came 'satin' (very flat black) and very smooth, no texture on it. I hope it looks good when I'm done! I'll post another pic with it finished later...

Okay, here's the new trim piece. I painted it with Tamiya semi-gloss black in a bottle, then sprayed through an air brush. I think it looks original!
