Default Fuel Door Question.

I remember reading a thread about how a guy had used some kind of black paint ( I think it was the type used for brake calipers ) on a forum somewhere. Did a search of this forum and couldn't find it.

The jist of the thread was how he painted the center part of the fuel door and left the outer ring with the brushed aluminum look. I'm thinking of doing the same and just wanted to see the pics he had posted of it. If anyone could help or has done the same to their fuel doors, please post a pic.

Thanks,

Joe H.

Yeah, I already bought the brushed aluminum one, and put it on, it looks good, but not quite right to me, the grey and silverish just kinda doesn't seem right. I was thinking that adding the black color to the door and leaving the ring would be a better touch and match the black FR500 rims.

Did mine this weekend, along with the hardware. I like it. Wing's coming off (again) as soon as the paint on the new pushpins dries...
