Fresh Paint!

What's up peeps, I'm Mitch and from Madisonville, La (just north of New Orleans). I bought my '10 ZDX Tech about a month ago, couldn't stand how much the silver stood out with ionized bronze, so I had my detail guy paint a bunch of trim pieces as well as the rims. I'm loving it so far, much different than the Z4 I traded in for the ZDX. I'd post pics, but the option doesn't exist yet below.

They were painted about a week ago, though my painter is very good at what he does, so I'd imagine there won't be any peeling (fingers crossed)

actually i decided to powdercoat mine, it will definitely not peel and will be heat resistant

at first i was planning to cover them in chrome but its expensive and there is no telling how long will it last with winter salt and exhaust heat
