Well you can do either way.. i painted mine black but if you leave it chrome you get a nice JDM look hehe and yes you can take this yellow thingy out of there it´s so ugly but i think the nicest way is to paint the whole chrome piece black! just my opinion

i used some new krylon h2o? i wanted satin i dont like flat.

long story short this ran worse than any thing I've ever seen. it's awful....

anyway does anyone have any information on paint stripping? I remember read a while back in a model forum about using "super clean" I think it's a castrol product, I'm going to do some searching but any personal experience.

thanks in advance guys

I find this stuff to be very easy. It can be scary the first time you do it, but I've done my last 4 cars, so I'm very comfortable with it now.


here's my tailight guide

I can help you throught the process on the head lights. I did those too.

Here's some pics:
