Well was at work today and found some black vinyl laying around, extra, and applied it halfass to my SS and it looks decent. They said if I come in early 2morrow I can paint it on myself. The props for working at a body shop. 
Probably goin with Satin Black, and if I don't like it later on just re-paint...I'll post pics up when I'm done.

Crappy day all day today and I forgot my camera at home so I couldn't take any pics while I was in the building nor in the oven...
I will try to get better pics as soon as it clears up more.

Alright, I did the evo mod on my SS and I'm not sure of what exactly I did wrong, but when I peeled the tape off a small amount of the paint around/over it rippled on both sides and it came out a bit choppy on the sides. What can I do to re-do this the correct way?
I used about 3-4 coats of black and 2 clear.

Correct....Do light coats if your rattle canning it, they dry much quicker so you can apply more coats quicker basically and removed the tape quicker. I didn't have this problem because I was in a paint booth, and the paint I used sets up differently.

So been debating on the EVO mod. Do I want a satin black for both bars? or a gloss black? leaning more towards satin but unsure.
going to have it sent out and professionally painted.
