Looks good.  
Don’t paint/tint the front chrome scoops PLEASE. That’d be wayyy too much black & those are one of the things that gives the TBSS front end it’s character IMO.

Its a paint/clearcoat combo that is mixed then sprayed… it is completely waxable and whatnot when doing the rest of the truck… Georges did all of the tint for me…
