Cool

for lack of the tech term for Endura, my best description would be a 'plastic paint'. very flexible very tough, good color selection. and no it would not look stock. the problem i have encountered in the past with not clear coating however is that the panels get super dirty super fast and you can't clean them without ripping off your paint. by the way clear coat does not mean glossy, you decide when you pick up your CC how much gloss you want in it. any reputable autobody supply depot should be able to walk you through the process(it all much easier then it sounds)

Hey,
i just went to CarQuest and got the SEM Texture Coating textured paint (1 quart $37). on top of that i also got a satin black spray can so the texture paint doesn't scuff too easily. too bad this texture paint is a single stage and any thinners will wipe it right off otherwise i would give it a couple of thin coats...
gonna do it today and take pictures... hopefully it'll turn alright and i can take pics to post!

wish me luck!

Thanks!

It's done. painted, and mounted. awesome fit, but its way too glossy..damn. however, now its just a matter of findinng another flat black to put on top of it...

and it sounds great too!! much more midbass up front... more detailed too. however, imaginf is non-existent as of yet since the current set-up will be removed and i can't justtify spending the time for it until the new stuff comes in.

thanks boys,

Marco
