Hello to everyone!

Yesterday it was raining, so i thought i would took of the chrom lines, and make shadowlines...

1. took off the old ones..
2. wet sand them
3. 2 layers black-matt color,
4. 2 layers clear coat..

And the finish is 90% from oem shadowlines..

The costs were only 20 ?uros... so its worth a try..

Pics are coming later,,



Best regards!

That looks really good. You could never see that you painted it yourself! The question is what it will like in a few months, or after the winter. I hope it works out well for you!
