Tow hook cover replacement

Hey Guys,

Thought id start this thread to help others out. I'm constantly the target of tow cover theft and im sick of paying and waiting for replacements so i decided to paint them myself with a rattle can from paintscratch.com. Now i only have to pay to replace the covers and at least i can paint them on the spot.

Its difficult to show on camera but the match is great, i just need to do a couple coats of clear. My color is SSM 2, the covers caught more light from the flash than the hood.

Will post daytime pics in the AM or on Sat.
