Hey all,

Ill be painting the chrome strips under my taillights fairly soon, but am after some opinions as I am very undecided. I think the matte may look good because I have matte black wheels, but then again painting the same colour as the car also looks pretty good!

Matte Black:

Obsidian Black:

Thanks! :)

Body colour for sure.

Jim Boy's car looks awesome in the flesh as he's done minor things like painting the chrome strips etc... As well as all the obvious things as well :D

Its a very beautiful car.I used brake fluid on them and it worked fine.We strip plastic models that where painted that way and it does not hurt the plastic and it washes off with water.Body colour all the way 100%.
