Kind of like Ferrari does when they paint them to match the body color...

I was thinking about doing it myself, but was curious as if anyone else has done this before...If so, how did you do it and what products did you use?

Thanks!

Any idea what sort of paint he used to do this? I am sure the prep job is 95% of the work for this job...

Think spray paint. Find a similar color and call it a day. Its really just a thin piece of plastic in there. If you are really anal and have spare money laying around, then have a paint shop do a matching job. One of the locals went to HIN in Seattle with a spray paint job and won his class.

Do a search in the Photo Gallery, quite a few people have performed this modification.
