My fog light bezels didn't come out so great the last time, so I've been repainting them, and taking my time with it. Sanded off all the old paint, primed, sanded, metallic base coast, wet sanded, blue metalcast, and now I'm in the middle of the clear coat. Still doesn't look like they're coming out perfect, but they will be a lot better than before. The finish was rough and flaking in places, and I didn't do a clear coat before.
It's a pain to do a lot of good prep, but it really does pay off in the final product. Good luck!
I am enjoying having the 14" wheels on the car. Pics to come. I also ordered a set of 195/50/15 RE-11A's for my Mazda 2 wheels for autocrossing I really look forward to having grip again.
Put my OEM steelies back on. Taking it into mazda for service saturday morning. OC and steering check.
Then springs, alignments, wheels back on and DONE!
Ordered new stubby.
