6$ can of rustoleum, matches the black on the Nomad almost perfectly!

Jackpot!

Might look nice now but wait until it's covered in bugs. I made new ones for mine from black plastic.

Good point, will have to wait and see...

I also made ones from black plexi-glass for the 99' Drifter to match all the blacked out parts it had. looked good.

Paint the back side and no bug problems. They stay shiny.

No, I painted both sides, took the deflectors off the chrome mounts, hung them from wire coat hangers and sprayed them down, about 3 coats with 15-20 minutes between coats.

No need to paint both sides, like kawvoy said, just paint the back, no bug problem and they stay shiny
