Kushballah,

Glad that helped. I used these guys caliper paint purchased through TireRack. As for the photoshop, got to reload that on my compuer. So that may take a while.

Hope this helps

Bought some touch up paint from autozone today... probably will get time to paint it within this coming week or next weekend. too much work and track practice on presidents day, so no time for the car... oh well... something to look forward to! hopefully i have enough paint...

Hey WHealy... was wondering... did you take off the entire fender vent when you painted it? and if so, how? cause i would paint it on the car, cept im NOT taking a risk of getting silver on the beautiful blue... id tape it off also, cept im worried bout it stripping the paint. Any tips or steps to how u did it? maybe a DIY post?

Took them out. I had a heck of a time finding the post I used to figure out how to do that. Not sure this is the one I used, but it looks like it would have the info you would need. Check out this post from MEGAREDS.

Hope that helps.
