Re: OK daytime running lights now

Re: One for the painters - Painting "dimply" plastic

I'd give it a coat of paint, wet sand then another coat and repeat...until you do the clrea gloss and do that as well...tedious process to get a "piano black" look

Re: gloss or matt black alloy wheels

Seems everyone put black rims on white cars, should have go for something like Bronze, copper, gold or gun metallic! I second that!
