So I got this fuel door from a member of another forum who attempted to paint it NUMEROUS times but couldn't get it to turn out like he wanted. I've never painted anything before this truck, but the antenna base and tailgate handle have both turned out well and are still looking great...I guess I'll give this a shot now.
Here's how it looked when he had it:
This thing had like four coats of primer, paint, and clear EACH. I used some mineral spirits and a few dremel attachments to take care of that crap.
The back isn't perfect, but it doesn't matter as you won't see it.
Hopefully I have enough color match paint to start painting soon, otherwise I'll have to order some for the ridiculous price the stealership gets for it.
