i asked about color coding that too when i got my car. and they say because its not plastic.. the paint will peel off once u hit something on it.

Caring so much about the Holden badge that is on your car that you have to replace it is sorta stupid too. j/k :wink: :lol:

Mate ya need more paint on the lower part of the bar, u can still tell its not thick enough for the black not to discolor it. As said before not bad for a home job, did ya rub the plastic back before painting? my original Sri had the black bits resprayed and one of the side strips had to be done again after bout a month as it started to peel cuz they had not rub it back enough......
