I did some blackening out of some of the bright stuff on this car. The kids call it "murdered out". I used VHT spray tint on the side marker lights and popped off the gas cap and hood RAM emblem to paint it black. The cap comes off very easily in you reach in above the rear tire, push the well liner out of the way, then push the 4 release tabs in around the ring. Can pop it off in less than a minute.
Painted cap and tinted rear marker.
At first I painted the whole thing, smudged the paint putting it back on, so I took it back off, wiped off all of the paint, then repainted with a black engine paint with ceramic particles. I wiped off the top since I didn't like the paint seeping into the "FUEL" emblem. The little bit of chrome will match the wheels. I don't want to black everything out.
Tinted side markers and painted gas cap side view.
I haven't decided on the tail lights and grill headlight area yet. Spray tint or window tint film.
When I reinstalled my flip top cover, I put 4 daps of silicone sealer around the ring to keep it from rocking. it always seemed a little loose when I touched it.
