Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking about it, but it's a lot of area to sand and paint. I saw another thread where someone had the valance wrapped. I might look into that too.
Can I ask how you painted the plastic valance? I'm not sure about the durability of diy painting flexible plastic. The other parts look nice.
I do want to say that I hadn't really noticed the lug nuts until you mentioned them, but now...
