I see a Corsa and I want it painted black... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

No stainless anymore, I want them to turn black:

I finally pulled them off and painted them. I never thought the stainless looked right on the car, it was too shiny.

For about the last year I've been running them with temporary "paint" that was a sort of dark gunmetal with some flake to it. I liked that a lot, but it wasn't permanent and was getting pretty rough/messy.

I wasn't sure if flat black was really going to do it for me, but so far I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Hopefully it'll stay on well, I didn't want to scuff the metal up in case I ever wanted to strip the paint off.
