    Painted Bling

    Hey guys has anyone painted their checkerplate? I have just got some wing tops and was wondering how they would look painted. I have a white 130 and natural aluminium looks a bit . So was considering painting white to keep the glare down. If i had a darker coloured defender it would look ok because they contrast a bit but with the white....... well am undecided, or should i stop goofin around and just bolt them on cos its a fender for ~@$@ sake, and who cares what it looks like

    re: checker plate

    I had mine powder coated professionally on black, the choice of colour was extensive. It is a much better job than normal paint and will last longer.
    From memory it cost $50 for a couple of strips.
    I like the idea of sticking to white, send us a photo when its done .

    Personalizing your vehicle will help avoid confusions (I once opened somebody else's white defender at the garage and nearly sat on it.......that was before I plastered it with decals.).
