Blacked out Dragon Cruiser

Well, as promised I am laying down the rattle can for good.

But here is how I did this.

First I masked areas where I didn't want paint.
Then I painted an Adehesion Promoter found at Pep Boys.
Then I used Rustoleum Flat Black in a can found at Menards.


Here it is:




Edited to add mirrors and handles and front grill

















Edit.
Added new mirror bulbs 168 White PIAA LED
Added Dragon Kanji decal
Added small Dragon decal in back
Removed all badging

That looks great Dragon - when you painted the rims did you do it with the rubber still on there and mask around?

Dragon, When did you change your name? When did you take out the FJ?

I did the wheels at an earlier date. For those I BRUSHED on an aluminum primer and then BRUSHED on a flat black Rustoleum. I didn't want paint molecules in the brakes, on the rotors etc etc.

Re: Blacked out Dragon Cruiser

are the silver tabs the same color as the rest of the bumper? or is it a shade or two off?

In person it looks dead nuts on. In these photos it looks a hair off. I'm fairly pleased with the outcome as I was expecting a pretty bad match.

Re: Blacked out Dragon Cruiser

This is my work camera and it blows chunks. I'll try to take a decent pic tonight or tomorrow. Yes, I should be working but I'm not.
