So ive been thinking about this a lot lately and decided Im going to do it. Just ordered my paint today.

Found an AMAZING website for our colors, they sell aerosol spray cans really cheap, and the color match is awesome!

I don't think anyone has done as much painting nor sanding as this guy has. We're talking battery covers, windshield wiper cap, etc...

Got my covers painted on my ISC at Westside Lexus body shop in Houston.

Had the main one done in USB to match my paint and then went back and got the rest done in gloss black to match my wheels and grill....
