What a waste of a good crossword puzzle.
Tasty mod though!
What was your paint of choice?

Nah. Just sanded, primered with 3 layers. Let sit for 30 minutes. Then sanded again. Then 3 layers of paint. Done. there are some touch up spots I need to hit again and the passenger mirror didn't taker the paint well so I will work with it again today.

Oh yes you are. It's just that nobody's made a worthwhile offer yet.
OTOH, what's the full list price?

Your's is very clean. Hopefully with 3 or 4 coats of black it should hold up well.

I am shadowlining mine right now but I am not using this method. I use 3M Scotchprint vehicle decal sticker in matte black.. so that if i want I can turn it back to chrome trim...
