I would explain it all but it's all pretty much right here:

You can use pretty much any high-heat paint - you need to decide whether to use gloss or matte paint - I believe I used a gloss black (but I've seen matte black and in my opinion looks better matte). I can't find what I used but like I said, any heat resistant paint should be fine.
If you want to get the same chrome strip I have, I would suggest finding clay and molding it around the area you want. I used tape but it was a pain in the ass and was not a clean finish.
I didn't prep much, just made sure they were clean and painted right on the chrome. If you have any further questions let me know. I've helped a few people with this and they all came out really well. I think it's probably one of the best mods to the FRS - gives it a much more aggressive look.
Best of luck. |
Thanks for the quick reply! I will definitely go through the thread and hopefully mine will turn out just as sweet as yours. Btw, loving pretty much everything you've done with your ride. Keep it up!
