I would like a step by step on how you did this...I want to play with this stuff home.

If you have a template where I can just pick and choose colors...that'd be great too.

I think body match looks the best. Why not post a new thread with poll for all four pictures?

Selim, in pic 4 above can you leave it exactly how it is but change the grey panel where the acura emblem is attached to color matched like in pic 1, so I guess you would be combining pic 1 and pic 4....

I created a poll with just one photo of the grill fully red including the circle.

I am trying to imagine how a stock car should look without the beak comments...

it's so hard to make the car look stock when someone already established a baseline!
