GM sells aluminum in natural or black...wouldn't take much to have them painted or coated white

I had mine airbrushed. Putting anything there that is stuck with 3M tape is tacky to me.

Looks really good.
I am going to try the fade decals on my RJT to see how it looks.

If you don't mind me asking, what did it cost for the airbrush?

If you look at the pic you will notice I had a 2010 version of the old yenko stripes faded in, they are the same color as my rally stripes (sunset Orange). So I really don't know how much it would cost for just the gills.

Ah yes I see that now. I really like those ghost stripes too.

for vinyl i like these fades the best...i had to do some searching to find them,

because every time i saw the gills the were either solid black,
or solid black on the ends and faded towards the middle,

you can get those on ebay for around 15 for the solids and $20 for the end to middle fades

mine are solid at the back and fade towards the front,

they were about $60 ,but besides painting they looked the best,to me anyway.

just my .02
