Hey that was my idea. I just got lazy becuase Home Depot wouldn't cut it for me.

perfect-clone · 08-29-2007, 05:31 PM

Take some steel wool or sandpaper and make a brushed steal look. Maybe even mask half off horizontally to have brushed up against smooth. Im gonna stop being lazy and go do this tomorrow.

The ones I bought were a little long. I just took a dremel and cut them to the right size. But ya I did use steel wool to give it a sorta brushed aluminum look but you can't really see it in the picture. I also added two or three layers clear coat.

perfect-clone · 08-29-2007, 06:03 PM

hmm...clearcoat is a good Idea. I guess Im gonna have to barrow my dremel from work.

Gsnake · 09-01-2007, 05:49 PM
