    Not my idea, but it could work if you're hell bent on painting it.

    What was your idea? Just not understanding what you mean by "when it arrives strip the paint"?

    Maybe I don't understand. Thought the visit is/will be painted when it arrives. I've always followed the "less is more" mantra. So, whatever you need to do to make the visor match the bumper, stacks, filter housings, etc., you should do. And if that means actually stripping the paint off the visor, that would be my recommendation.

    Yes it's going to be painted either black, white or 2 tone of both. The breathers are going to be painted white with the screens and straps being black. The outside of the grill might be painted white with the inside section staying aluminum or maybe black

    First of all you need new headlights. I got these and they are INSANE.

    https://www.amazon.com/Rectangular-...d=1564544741&s=gateway&sprefix=z-offro&sr=8-1

    Second, I would personally leave the visor on there. If you really wanted the reverse bow tie I would hands down go black. Make sure you paint the underside black no matter what or the sun will bounce off the hood and hit the visor underside and right into your eyes. Ask me how I know!

    I would also leave the breathers alone.
