Hey Guys,
New cappings should be turning up soon and the question is do I paint them so they keep the original look of the vehicle, or do I keep them un-painted and live with the very very shiny for a few weeks till they dull down. I'm not such a fan of shiney things. at all really so painting seems like best option for me, however galvanised cappings could potentially add value so why paint them? What do you think?

Galvanised every time.
The paint was not looking to healthy on mine so I took them all off and had them galvanised, much better looking. The shine dulls down when they have been weathered for a while, the only parts of mine that are still shiny are those on the inside of the vehicle. ONE LIFE, GET IT! |
