Looks great, how'd you do it. Did you start with the smooth black cap and sand it then primer then paint? Clear coat?

I Started With The Smooth Black
Wet Sanded It With 2k Grit Sandpaper
3 Coats Of Primer
Let Dry For About An Hour
They 4 Coats Of CRP
(Cherry Red Pearl)
To Match Truck

Let Dry For Another 90Min
Make Sure It's Dry Cause You Will Leave Finger
Prints In Paint

It looks great. For future reference though...2000 grit is too fine if you're going to spray over it. That's for final wet sanding before buffing. You should be using about 4-600 grit between coats of primer or paint so the surface has some tooth for the paint to adhere to.

I think it looks great! Did you get a body shop to make a spray bomb of factory cherry red paint, to match?
