Default OEM Half Doors Painted

Finally got my OEM half doors painted to match the rest of the Jeep. This weekend I will paint the AEV hood grills black. I'm also thinking about powder coating the wheels black and replacing the decals with black lettering. What do you guys/gals think? Could someone photoshop the hood grills, lettering, and wheels black?




Here's a before shot.

You've got some skills, man. I gave it a try and you're right about the decal being a pain. How did you recolor the wheels? Mine didn't look nearly as consistent--they were really dark at the top but light at the bottom where the shine is.

Thanks!

I selected the rims into their own layer and then added a black Color Overlay layer style. Then I set that same black Color Overlay to about 70% opacity.

Alright here is the black badge. I also gave the jeep some tinted windows...so you are mostly blacked out. It is a slow night for me....
