looks good.
Give us an update on chips and scratch's in a couple of months. It would be interesting to see how well the paint holds up to daily use.

well ive actually had it done for about 2 months now. i had do redo it once after the first week because the paint didnt stick very well at all and i could scratch it off with a fingernail (the faceplate was only washed with rubbing alcohol) so i stripped the faceppllate and repainted it, this time with adhesion promoter and its sticking great after about a month and 3 weeks
