          I'm doing this today... bezels are primered, waiting 15 minutes to sand and prime again, then we'll get to painting. I'll have pics when they're back on the car.

                The things are a pain to paint, and I made a few goofs, but fortunately most people won't notice.

                I used Duplicolor primer, Duplicolor Bright Red, and Duplicolor clear. Standard painting caveats apply - clean, sand, etc. In a few days, I'll buff them with some compound so they shine as much as the rest of the car.

                      It could be worse - could have a silly grin. ;)

                              Those are my car painted the body color. With them black, it looks like my car got beat up with two black eyes.

                                part of me likes it, part of me doesn't. i guess i cant say cuz i have a 99 bird, but it doesnt look bad at all, though i think i like it in black a bit more, but the same color turns heads
