Sherwin Willams auto center can mix you up an aerosol if you paintcode. Or you can try to find a shade that's close from VHT, etc.

Glad you're doing this, in for photos.

have fun taping that up and hoping it won't peel the chrome

If you use the right tape, it's fine. I have done probably 4 sets. I forget what type of tape it is but if you go to a hardware store, you buy the tape that is supposed to stay on for the shortest time.



As for the silver, I think it would look good. As RR said, get color matched paint. I don't really like it with solid colors but our silver paint has so much metallic in it that it would likely look good to me. Masking the signals is a must for me though.

Kinda forgot about this after i sold my old CG. but now that i have another one, what do you guys think about paint matching it but blacking out the blinker vs leaving the blinker chrome?

i think it looks a lot nicer when you leave the blinker chrome. it looks more stock and is more functional. i've had both on my car before and i definitely prefer the blinker staying chrome. its a lot cleaner. GL

ok, i think the chrome blinker will look cleaner as well. what tape did you use so the chrome didn't peel off?
