Just make sure to paint the edges in order to make it look like it's painted all over.

The bodyshop did mine since I was having other work done (keymarks taken off). They did paint the underside though.

Here's a teaser...the weather was warm enough over the past weekend that I made a lot of progress on getting my set painted and clear coated. The Flint Mica came out great! However, to my rather discerning eye, there is a little too much 'orange peel' in the clear for my tastes. A buddy at work paints motorcycles as a side business and he's going to take a look at my work so far and make some suggestions. Based upon my description today, he thinks that perhaps gentle wet sanding with some 1,200 or 1,500 grit sandpaper might do the trick, then spray on another coat or two of clear to finish it off. I'll post up the final pics when they are ready. Stay tuned!

Keep us posted!
You can get an unpainted set and get them wrapped in CF. Garm sells both items through the store.

Eyelids installed.
Wow, it's been awhile since I bought them but they are finally done! The color match was perfect! I used 3m double sided molding tape, cut to fit using a razor blade, then applied to the back of the eyelids then carefully attached them. Now my little guy has a more aggressive look. I'm very happy with the way they turned out. I hope you think so too.
Paint, clear coat and eyelids before prep and paint: Before installing eyelids: After install: Angle view:

Thanks for the pictures! Your car looks great.
So it looks like our question has been answered. AtuomotiveTouchUp.com is the best place to get some matching paint for a decent price!
