Rear Strut Bar Z Cover... Painted!

Believe it or not, I painted this with spray cans! It came out sooooo awesome.. and only cost me $19.99

Dupli-color Mirage paint available at Autozone and Walmart..

It looks like they have tons of color combinations.. I chose goldish-red-purple-blue (titanium like haha)

EDIT: add installed pics:

haha I'm not too concerned about it..it matches the factory paint job 100%

The angle in that pic makes the orange peel worse than it actually appears in real life.. most people looking at it live won't even notice... speaking of which, the color shift is hard to capture on camera too..
