I can't think of who it is...but there is a guy on the board with a white car and center piece painted...it looks tight
you can check out Eclipse804. His car is blue, but it looks awesome

What kind of paint did you guys use to paint it? Thanks...

Yeah... What kind of paint? And how much would it cost a decent shop to do it, or could i do it without it looking ghetto?

I just had a shop do it. It only ran me $30. I know some people have done it themselves on the board but I went ahead and got it done professionally.
I think its worth the $30, personally. I dunno about HeDog, but I haven't had any chips, paint fade, flaking...nothing. It still looks like it did when it came out of the shop. Its been through ice cold winters(snow, ice, sleet) and 100 degree summers. Still looks great.

pull the center piece out of the back and bring it to a paint shop they will be able to hook it up to the color of your car with out any problems......... don't try and do it your self unless your a qualified body and paint guy
