Black Dominator Platinums

Oshino Shinobu

I decided to paint my Dominator Platinums black to make them a bit more stealthy, and to make the glow from the LEDs a little more noticeable. I also removed the stickers because, let's face it, stickers look bad on everything. 

 

No log or anything, just a few pictures. Also, some of the paint looks chipped, but it's just loose particles. I need to dust my system.

I have some of the light bar kits, but I didn't like how they look with silver, but I'm not sure about black. I might try them later on. I'm trying to bring my build back down to a more clean and subtle look, recently I've added too much flashy stuff and don't like the look any more.

This is something I plan to do to the silver bars on my light bar kits, no warranty voiding required!

Much like the guy above ^ posted. What kind of paint did you use, and how many coats.

Do you notice your RAM being any hotter than it was before?
