my subtle Subtle sticker



6-13-2013


After some consultation with the boyfriend, I'm not gonna paint 'em.


You can't see it in the photo, but the side-skirts are textured, like super-fine little dots. I tried to take a pic but it just comes out fuzzy. I'd lose that finish. Plus eventually the new paint would get scraped and it would look twice as bad. And yes there are some major scratches in 'em. See how it looks 'dirty' under beneath the sticker? That's not dirt, that's gravel burn (I don't know if that's an actual term) it is totally scraped up.


And then he said, "Wait a minute, you mean paint them yourself??" and he started laughing lol 


"Knowing you, you'll be in tears when it doesn't come out perfect, forget it." 


I think I'll wait til I can afford new ones 


There are scratches. there are major scratches. Ahem, previous owner, of course 


Found 'em on Amazon for $150, but I can't tell if those need to be painted
