I used just one aerosol can so when I want to change it up, I'll just paint over it with black again.

I'll just spray over it again when I get tired of it. I can't get over how big a difference in coverage there is between an aerosol can and the electric paint gun. I'd hate to paint anything bigger then I did without using the Wagner.

Plastidip over chrome
Well I thought I would give this a try and de-chrome a few things. Also dipped the grill and rear emblem, the 4.4i emblems are too small to bother with. Did this a month ago and seems to be holding up well.

Looks like somebody pulled a prank on you and stuck some roundels on the side of your car.

You know I never noticed that until you mentioned it. That's the way I bought it.

Ditch the side roundels and dip the 4.4 emblems, it'll look 1000x better! (Still looks good so far though)

I just googled images of my year model and I did not see any roundels on the side. I bought it from the original owner so it didn't occur to me that they were put on after the fact. Is there a special package that would allow them to be placed there at the factory? The spec sheet shows that there are many packages when built 04/03
