Ekkdum fust class, gujjubhai!

Love the color man! have you done a full detail yet?

you should black out the fender trim and door handle trim.

Local shop charged me 200 to wrap it all..makes a huge difference

haha ekdam jakas!

I need to do the full detail. Maybe in summer.
I tried doing the fender side marker but did not look right. Maybe it will blend better if I do the door handles. I had to go back to Chrome.

Looking super clean. I love that color.

This what I did for my reflectors and side marker; color match was spot on:

that does look off, considering your kidney grilles look great in contrast with the blue.

Were those gloss black? (the fender inserts?)

Probably would've looked better with gloss wrap?

I might have to go with the painted.

Actually, it was Matt black. I picked up the Matte easy peel spray can.

After trying the matte look I had to try the glossy wrap. And back to chrome.
