thanks tony, ok back on topic, im going to paint the strips for sure this weekend. i just need ideas about the color. black blue. im thinking black is easier becuase i dont have to paint jambs, engine compartment, trunk all that stuff. i just hate how black shows all the bad stuff, just like white paint and dirt showing. i like the black besides that so ill probably keep it black but anything else i can paint? morrors and strips are all i could think of.
