Blackened MountainMan

You did the mirrors right on the car?

that does look pretty sharp - I've been on the fence about painting my front bezel and mirrors for a while now. We have black door handles and black wheels, along with a black Hunter brush guard, and I think this might be the crowning touch.... Let's see what the missus says. Thanks for the pics!

EDIT: PS - the SUV paint you linked to says "dries to a high-gloss shine", but yours looks satin - did you have to coat it after painting? I don't want glossy, personally. Also, did you use adhesion promoter on your lamp surround first?

ya i just masked everything off, not sure if that was more or less work that taking everything apart but it worked out ok,

hmm the paint i used was not high gloss, maybe that link is wrong, will have to check, ya it dried to a satin, almost flat black, matched the bumpers perfectly

Great job! How long did it take you to mask the mirrors?

[MountainMan]

oh... probably... 15 mins per mirror i would guess

Very cool!

Good job man! All I have left to do is the mirrors now...

I actually have the decals taken off right now, I was thinking about painting them, but I'm not sure what or if I'm gonna put them back on. If I decide not to, you'll be first for the F.

thanks Nate... (for your consideration)

I like your grill. Looks bad. Did you mask the doors or did you remove the mirrors and the handles.

masked the mirrors and handles, took off the grill and badges
