Painted Mazda 3 pedals MT

[Kevin@nextmod]

Well a member here (name will not be mentioned) bought these and he wanted them black. So i offered to paint it for him at school. I sanded it down and it was a pain in the ass because it was brushed aluminum before.
One of the pedal got a little imperfection on it because the teacher took it out too early and the clear wasn't all dried and put it in the box. there was a little paper stuck on it.

Edit* I put about 4 layers of paint on each side and 2 very thick layer of clear coat on it.

You did do a great job though. Give me a shout if you ever can do another set. With compensation of course :chuckle

[Kevin@nextmod]

um...... maybe i'll be able to do it next week or the week after. This time i won't stay after school.....i'll just do it in lab. But i'll only do metallic black. And might not be the same black because my TA just mixed it up without color code. But i'll see what i can do.
Have you thought of doing white? I think white will look freakin amazing. Because the rubber things are black.
