I am going to revive this dead thread once more since I havent found an answer to this yet.

Has anyone tried to paint these with just a bottle of touch up paint? I am curious to see how well that would work or if it would chip easier or look like shit?

I used http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ paint for my rear emblem and side markers. Perfect candy white color match. Just make sure you sand properly with some fine grit, then prime, shoot, and clear.

Awesome! Thank you. Did you buy the bottle of touch up or the aerosol spray paint can?

As far as primer and clear coat go, where did you purchase those, home depot or an auto store like pep boys?

Thanks for all the help!

I just went to the body shop that is actually right next door to me, and he said he would do them for $50. So I will be going that route instead of buying all the supplies and doing it myself. He will probably be much better and quicker than I am.

Anyone want to buy some smoked side markers for $20 plus shipping?

Mine were brand new off of Ebay. The driver side one is a perfect fit, but the passenger side one slightly sticks out in one corner. It is barely noticable, but I am OCD with that kind of stuff. Nobody else will notice it. I paid around $35 for them and I kept the original bulbs installed.

Heres some up close pics (sorry its dark and the car is filthy):

Passenger side:
As you can see, you can hardly notice that it sticks out a tiny bit. Its the top left corner that sticks out.

Drivers side:

Kinda hard to tell the diff. Between the 2 picks.. What color was your car CSG or black?
