should sand them down so they do not have any texture makes them look nicer.

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...
