Painted Sidemarkers???

I'm thinking about painting my sidemarkers to match my car. What color spray paint do you recommend to match my car, Iridium Silver??

I see from your sig, you have the clear ones installed, paint your old orange stock ones and see how you like the color.

Well it's just something that I'm thinking about doing. Wanna see how they look first. I know the clear aren't euro but they look a helluva lot better than the orange ones.

X2 right on the Money! I really dislike those clear ebay side markers. That is why I just color matched my original ones.

If you want the exact match just go to the dealer and get a bottle of touch up paint for about $20 if I remember correctly.

Please do not spray paint those things, take them to a body shop and have them painted then clear coated. TRUST ME!
