spur of the moment thing the fuel cap...

though it might look good with the wheels, make the car more stealthy too

plus the alloy one wouldn't look right, with no other silver on the outside of the car

you should have sprayed a thin coat of lacquer so that it blends with the paint...well I did that...then lacquered...still looking good...well they are black, don;t need to clean etc...

i wouldnt laquer with the paint and how can you do that with cans!

leave them for an hour and then laquer them all, also when applying the basecoat (colour) do it in think layers and allow to dry in between coats and then you will get a much better finish!
