Thanks guys :-) yeah noticed it when i put them on so they have come off until i get a chance to spray them.. didnt realise how faded they were

Was more a reference to what they look like on the car.. cause i know there were a couple of people keen for a set


**** small update have painted wiper arms today at work cause it was SOOOOO busy ;-) and didnt want to miss out on this heat to paint them :-) *****

Had a fun arvo playing around with the Lamin-X tint. Have done the foglights and the blinkers. Still have headlights and rear lights to go. Also decided to finally do the most important mod.. astinagt.com sticker :-D

What's best for painting wiper arms? I've got a bit of satin black rattle can left over from my headlights, not sure specifically if it's sufficiently waterproof or not.

Every time I see this thread I read it as Jimmy Suite and I get all excited then I reread

Like the wheels though the polished lip and old school spoke design are really nice.

I've changed my mind. Gun metal grey! Or gold, gold is cool.

Thanks for the colour ideas peeps.

Marc - like your suggestion of gold cause know one else has done it.. but i hate the colour gold.

so im going to go buy a can of matte black and also a can of candy apple red.. thinking the rear badges candy apple red and the front one black
