Looks good. I've wanted to do that for a while but just haven't gotten around to it.

Looks great, and it's probably the only thing that makes me envious of other color vettes as mine is black

My exhaust tips are all welded so I had to cover them..It's tricky painting between the tips and the under side of the fascia and also in the leuvers without pooling up the paint...Patience definately was a big element for pulling this off without blemishes. If you're the DIY kinda guy it's a rewarding little project.

That seems pretty simple to do. Did you sand at all before you sprayed it?
