Has anyone ever painted the rock gaurds on their car??
i was just wondering like the title says if anyone has painted these? dunno what exactly it is/called but i got to lookin and it looks like its just a clear vinyl for looks i was just getting ready to paint it black when i decided i should prolly check and see if anyone has done this before and what you guys think.
i want to paint them black. im plaining on painting my rims black also
gotta look closely lol
do you think its a good idea? i was just gonna scuff em up a bit and tape it off and paint them black give it a diff. look to it.

oh no those are just whats going on right now i havent finished yet.
i still have the other side to do.
do you think i should put clear coat on it? do i just wait for it to dry and spray it on or am i supposed to sand it a little then spray clr on it?
worse comes to worse i can just peal it off so thats why im doing it to see how it looks

just FYI if you plan on removing the thing completely
I believe awhile ago, there was a member that did take it off, only to realize a bunch of nicks were being made there. Apparently rocks really like to hit that area :|
Maybe I'm just remembering things though
