I haven't seen anyone paint the actual chrometech's yet but should look the same as the alloy verson. Make sure you prep them good since the "chrome" part is plastic.

yea bro.. any ideas on what kinda paint/clear...??

and while im here.. any ideas on how to close that damn gap between the hood and bumper...? it pisses me off so bad whenever i look at it and i cant figure out how to adjust it at all... i think the hoods aligned fine. its just the bumper..

like said before its a plastic cover. i just sanded with a high grit and used an indoor/outdoor plastic paint with an indoor/outdoor clear. 3-4 coats of primer, 3-4 of paint and 2-3 clear is what i did and haven't chipped yet. had them painted for months now.

any ideas on closing the gap?

Turn the rubber knobs on the front corners of the engine bay. They look like hex nuts. That should help close the gap some.

nahs that would lower the hood.. the hoods sits flush wit teh fenders now. i really need a way to get the bumper up..like using those orings kwerd said.. hopefully that wrks..
