What kind of paint did you use and does anyone have a DIY? I know it's not that hard, but I just want to take the steps in the right direction as painting is not my specialty.

Also, On a SSM CL, you think Silver or Red would look good for the cover? I'm thinking either way it will look good, but Silver to match the body of the car.

Thanks

 

We used BASF Automotive paint and clear on our SSM CL.

 

That came out very nice. How many coats did you go with?

 

One coat of base and one coat of clear. We just did the front filler panel also.(panel that hides hood latch assy, and radiator)
Should have it back on this weekend and get pictures done if you want to see them also.

 

Absolutely. I'd love to see pics when they're ready. Thanks!

 

that engine cover came out really nice

 

yea that does look really nice...i was waiting to see if they were gonna make a cf cover like they did for the TL but painting it might be another option....keep us updated

 

come on people. I know alot of you have painted engine covers. I remember seeing a thread specifically designated to this, but after 20 min of searching, i gave up.

I was also hoping people would post pictures.

LH- you rock!! That's the thread I was looking for and what's funny is I typed in "engine bay" "engine painting" and a bunch other search phrases and I didnt see that, unless I overlooked it. Thanks man

 

No problem, glad to help.

 

mine is a metallic blue, pro job very nice, but i didnt do it nor do i want it
i got some other pieces that are painted too. i'll post some pics when i can...
let me know if u want them, i'd prob trade for stock pieces.. i got a cl-p dont know if that makes a difference
