Correctly done, painted looks like they came from the factory that way.
That or maybe a little darker is exactly what i'm wanting on mine. I was debating getting overlays only because i'm not sure of the legality and we have yearly inspections here. how much does a pro paint job run?

It was 390 total to get the tail lights and door handles done, and that included removing and reinstalling everything. The shop may have given me a price break though, as I do a lot of work with them, and had just spent 8000 on a paint job the summer before.
