Painting eyelids/grills etc...

Postby Maj3sticCr0w » Fri Sep 23, 2011 5:20 pm

Just wondering what the best way to go about painting eyelids, grills and other extras is? And for anyone thats had it done/done it themselves the associated costs. Im looking at getting some K2 eyelids but they come unpainted. I have previously bought some touch up paint for my car and found out my car requires 2 layers of paint also as its Pearl White. Is the only place to get this exact paint from subaru? Thanks in advance.

Go to a respectable crash shop and ask how much cash for painting these little items. Normally I get things painted 100% perfect like eyelids, grilles etc for a Slab of beer.
