Message	Unless you plan on going the whole nine yard with prepping and clear coating at the end. Reason being, these take a lot of abuse being in the front of the car and without the prep/clear being done properly they will chip in no time (ask me how I know). When I take mine out and do them again, they'll have 4-5 coats of clear put on them at least. It always sucks to get something small painted (cost-wise) but this one will be worth it. www.SoCalZCrew.com - Come find out how we do it in the West!
