Hey, just a quick question for you guys. I want to paint my rocker cover, but would it be easier to just get an EF one as they are already smooth, or just put a filler primer on my EL one?

I recon if you went over the raised bits in black(or another colour),

That it would really set it off!

Nice, i agree that you should define the raised sections with black, but either way looks good
