definitely true! when i went with gloss black for my internal pieces (pre-LCI) i decided to sand off the chrome with 1000 grit sand paper, prime then paint with gloss black...
this looks amazing so far!

Doing gloss black for the first time made me realize that it's possibly improbable for me to do this entire mod in one day. The chrome parts that need to be painted with glossy paint does not play nice together at all, so prep is definitely necessary.
Anyhoo, you guys look forward to more pics tomorrow when they're installed back on the car.

Yeah, sorry guys, wasn't able to take better pics because there was a car parked right in front of Justin's, so couldn't get a whole frontal shot. But I am sure those are coming soon, once Justin picks up the car on Thursday!
