I think you should have test fitted them in white. I like how the bronze came out though. Good job on the paint!

Wow, looks like you did a GREAT job on them man! Looks like you spent a lot of time rather then just rattle caning them a color and being done with it. I love how they look in bronze, but I'm also curious how they would have looked in white on your car.

Aducarab - there holding up really good.
been on the car for 2 weeks now and not even a mark (yet).
I used a high heat primer and let it sit for 24 hours before I laid the first coat of bronze.
