Post Alum Fuel Door Update (painted)

I finally got around to taking some pics after I painted it. Let me know what you think.

I really looks alot better painted IMO.Just have one question for you,you list the billet and the plastic doors at the top of the page.If I wanted to do this mod I would either use the billet or plastic doorto do this.

    Hey! I saw your car at the Best Buy in Lewisville one time, about a month ago maybe?

    Guys, the pics do no justice! I didn't like it when I saw the original post, but it caught my eye in the parking lot, and when I swung back around for a better look, it looks good!

    Props to you for being this original. The first to do something always sets the pace for others. I think its a good touch, now I need to see the painted version. See you on the streets!

    ehhh.......props for trying something different,
    but personally, i think it takes away from the somewhat clean lines....seems to me you spent all that money for a door with screws on it.

    ZRAPTOR: Use the Alum one. The plastic one does not have the alum screws around it.

    red blur: Gimme a honk if you see me in the area!

    OnyxXtreme: In your sig: "completely stock" Some people prefer to be different. But thanks for the feedback.

    Skull Leader: I used DupliColor (Autozone, NAPA) I used a clear sealer not clear coat. It's sort of a matte finish

    Trans AM 22502: You can paint it any color you want.

    W7Z28: Not sure, if someone wants to swing by (carrollton, tx) we can take a look at.
