Painted my hood/hatch struts last weekend

So after seeing an under the hood pic of jx3's ride I liked how he painted the hood and hatch struts. So last weekend I painted mine yellow to match the calipers. I used Testors Enamel model paint in a spray can. Only prep was removing them and cleaning them. I then taped off the top part and then were the little groove is to leave the bottom little section black. I did not clear them or anything. Now for the pics.









Let me know what you think.

looks great, might have to so this in the future as well. I don't know how i feel about it on the hatch ones, but it looks great on the hood.

Ya I am hoping they last. I bought them off of ebay and they claim they are high heat resistant. But I am guessing they are no different then the next guys vinyl stickers.
