    nice man, matching white grills, i had to do mine over twice.. i didnt get the OMNIpacks though... i mixed olympic white and superwhite paint to get the closest match on mine..
    you did an awesome job man, i like the way you made it glossy.. i didnt have that result.

    OT: will adding extra clear coat layers lighten the white or darken it?

    i dont think the clear coat will lighten or darken anything...:confused:

    The paint i bought was very high gloss to begin with... but i still added about 2 coats of clear coat:D
