Should i get my grey plastic surround painted to match my car?
Before: 
After: (also includes clear front indicators - i already have au3 side flashers) 
I think its a yay (depending on price) Anyone got any ideas how much this would cost? Paint is black pearl or something.. tis metallic so makes it more exspensive.. |

Paint them, looks much better.
Can't help you with how much, best to take it to some panel shops for quotes.

ohh.. my thoughts too!!
went to a couple of panel beaters.. got quoted ~$450 and $500.. LOL! anywho. I"ve got metallic paint (black pearl) - whats my best bet of sourcing the paint? Can i goto say the paint rig and get them to mix it up in a can or something? Once i can source the paint the rest is easy i suppose...
can of the black paint, couple cans of clear, can of plastic primer and hey i'm ready i suppose.. as well as some sanding/cleaning of the bare plastic
