Thanks.

I used Krylon Fusion in satin black.

I cleaned them with ammonia, taped off with frog tape and news paper and started painting.

It took me four cans to complete.

I painted mine with Duplicolor Gray "bumper paint" about a year and a half ago, they've held up well. I just noticed yesterday when I washed it there were 3 or 4 spots where the paint had rubbed off, probably from somebody dooring it in the parking lot. I have to call the dealership anyway, so I'll just ask how much for new, if it's still as outrageous as it was a few years ago, they'll be getting a fresh coat of paint I guess.

I just did my door panels in the Duplicolor gray bumper paint as well. It matches closel with the bumper gray and looks 100% better than it did. I used their adhesion enhancer (or whatever it is called) and it seemed to adhere well. Time will tell.
