Yep on the list, along with the hood, and running the bottom color across the rear of the tailgate. Toying with the idea of bottom color ghost SS style stripes on the hood.

That was all done with a rattle can, NICE, was it easy to apply the paint, did the metallic spray pretty much even?

Also thanks for posting that website, makes my job very easy for when i decide to color match the grille.

Until recently I have never painted anything if that says anything. The grand total of my painting experience are my handles and now the mirrors. The rattle cans come with a special cap and sprays nicely. The metallic is perfectly distributed. I highly recommend them cause it worked for me. The real work was in the buffing.
