Default Got Bored (Project Oakley GasTank)

OK got really bored today so I start a new project

Custom painted Oakley (GasTank) sunglasses

I am going to paint them S2000 Nürburgring Blue Metallic


So here we go

The sunglasses stock


Taking the Oakley O off



Brokin Down



In primer




Wet Sanded



The stuff I am using for painting



Nürburgring Blue


This is a Valve cover I did with the same paint so you can see what it should look like


Primer


Quick First Coat






Second Coat








All Done
I ended up leaving the O's Chrome I might paint them black later

Does your car look the same as its pictures in the Teal Hatch Club? If so, I would say that it would match your car's secondary color to paint it black, rather than chrome. Or maybe bronze.
