After second hand (had to take it inside because it started raining):


After it stops raining and the sun comes out I will give it a clear coat and I'll post pictures when I get it back on the car.

I can't remember the brand, I will go outside in a few minutes and take a look at it.

It took my one can (it's small) to do both hands. I know it will match up because I had already used that paint to paint my exterior door handles

looks good...

and you're lucky that your paint matches....the only way to correctly match a metallic paint (especially platinum) is by having it mixed by a shop

Thanks.

I mean, it doesn't look EXACTLY the same because obviously my paint is a little faded because the paint job has 12 years, but you can't really tell the difference.

I vote for sticky status since this gets asked often.

looks good man, one of the easiest things you can do for pretty cheap to really make the gen 3 stand out, looks so much cleaner imo

Mines not a perfect match either but no one even notices it didnt come that way.

Hahaha. I just got back from the bowling alley.

I went outside, and was looking for my car where I had parked it, and got so scared because I couldn't see my car and it was that I just didn't recognize it. I felt so stupid, but it looks pretty good.
