    Overtightened and the nut snapped more than halfway down. Happened the day I picked the wheels up and put em on. Shitty deals.

    I just spent $12 on spray paint and vinyl dye and will have my grille/surround and bumper black by tomorrow.

    Changes up the look considerably.

    Will post pics

    Oh yea of course! Mine is slowly losing it's black, but not as bad as yours. Eventually I'm gonna have to do it. I also might do the panels you did by the wipers.

    btw - have you used that rustoleum before? It always tempts me when I'm in the store. You going gloss?

    And what kind of prep are you going with for those alloys?

    :wink:

    Nope, will be the very first time. And I'm going flat black.

    Korslite used Rusto Industrial Enamel but I can't find any locally so I'm assuming the HP ones will work similar, only cost <$6 a can. As for prep, I'm sanding them up tonight and will be using primer then the enamel tomorrow.

    Nice, can't wait to see them.

    Any objections to using and random orbital sander? I used it on my POS chrome bumper inserts as a test to see if it's a good idea or bad idea. Didn't seem to harm the prep at all and it was a helluva lot quicker than elbow grease.
