Looks great. Did you have to wet sand the silver paint before you were done and applied the clear coat? I've never painted anything before I'm too worried about it not coming out right. So you asked the autobody place to put paint in an empty aerosol can? I never knew they could do that sort of stuff.

I'd like to paint the black plastic things in my headrest that are in the two shoulder harness holes, red to match my rollbar & car. They are two piece inserts held in with philipshead or Torx screw from behind the headrest.

What do you think? I just take them out spray them and that should be it? If I install the 5-6 point harness will the straps wear away or mar up the paint?
