Painting the frames, you know the parts that surround the OEM fogs.

Anyway, the problem with this DIY is that no one says what kind of paint to use. :dunno:

We were going to do this today, can someone post ASAP on that???

Thanks!!

I've heard high temp. paint, but I don't think it really matters all that much.

Ya, but you still want it to have that chrome shining through.



If you paint them solid black, you won't get that gunmetal look...

i forget but i've seen it...
also you could get this

wheel paints are usually more resistant to heat than regular paint (aka high temp from brakes) and they have gunmetal.
