Paint LX cladding to match body?

[1000-oaks]

(Hopefully this hasn't been posted too many times.)

Anyone have any photos of an LX with the side cladding and bumpers painted to match the body? I like the LX rigs but hate the two-tone job.

I think a fully white LX with blacked out windows would be very cool...I'd like to sell my black one and do this.

Like this?

I never paid much attention, but I think this is a typical SoCal color scheme. I don't think I've seen two tone there.

Ignore the low pro tires and the drop kit if you're not into such things...but pics of LX_TREME's rig are about as close as I think you're going to get if you want monocrhome on a LX with dark windows.

Isn't the cladding on your black 450 black?

Now that I look closely, it is.

You can see my black LX with monochrome paint scheme (they come with dark gray cladding) in the Reader's Rides section- I'm reposting it here. I'm not into the bling like LX_TREME, but I definitely wanted to do away with the two-tone.

Was it hard to remove the chrome strip before painting? How hard was it to mask at the gasket? Looks like you could get masking paper behind the cladding without too much trouble, though I'm not sure how clean an edge it would leave when you pull the paper off.
