Default Gloss Black Slipstreams, Red lip... anyone have them? I do.....

I got sick of the flat black, and always wondered what itd be like to see them gloss black with a red lip.....

hell of a job painting them.. and they look like ISH up close, but from 5 feet away, they look awesome. Did the red lip witha Q-Tip, it was hard as hell to get it even, so it isnt. anyways... on to pics....

Why not just mask the lip with some thin painters tape and spray?

Personally don't like them. Gloss slips already stand out too much but whatever you like.

Yes but now they're looking like wannabe RNRs when they're already wannabe spoons.
