Yes, my search skills are fail.
I'm going to murder out my 350 and would like to start by blacking out the side reflectors and the door handles. Anyone know of a good how-to tutorial of doing this?
Thanks!

yeah i just did the reflectors, didnt even have to remove my bumper...
apply a TON of painters tape all around them and drop some towels on your hood, wheel, grill etc. then take some krylon's fusion plastic spray paint and do 3-5 light coats. looks professionally done.

Looks awesome
Thought about doing that with mine (same color car) but just couldnt take the plunge. After seeing that i think i may now. What kind of paint did you use...and when you did it, did you have to sand them down a bit?

I think we got it the first time when you said " you dont even have to remove your bumper."
I like, I have had problems with krylon plastic paint before...might of been the type of plastic I was painting..but I would at least sand it a bit...just to be sure you get a good stick..maybe its just cause I'm paranoid.
So you didn't have any problems getting a good coat on all visible parts of the reflector without taking the bumper off?...again I think I might be to paranoid I might not tape perfectly and paint my bumper a bit.
