OK this is the 1 of 4 catch-up posts on visual enhancements



Part 1: DoorBlades are here!

color? Oh yes, its Ming! muhahahahha...

I'll put them on soon b4 they get painted just so god kills a kitten!

They need a new paint job, the previous owner looked like he brushed his leg or shoes up against it quite often, So i assume a wet sanding job to remove orig laquer and create bonding surface is necessary first...

question number 1: What online shops do you guys use to get a 1/2 quart can of touch up paints? (preferably aerosol can converted). I've got my color code already handy, but i know VAG paints do cost oem, IIRC 150$ or so for 1 quart of paint.
