Thanks
I did 3 coats of each. Paint and clear. And yes minor scuffing with fine sandpaper just help it nothing to harsh. For all that it was 2 cans of spray paint. Just make sure 1st coat is very light and let sit for at least and hour

Move your EVAP canister over an inch on the 12's. Takes less than 5 mins. Keeps your rear driveshaft for rubbing. See teraflexs YouTube on this. It's easy and effective
