My car goes into the body shop on Monday...

There will obviously be some extra paint that I can leverage... Was wondering what opinions are out there on some places I can use it...

My car is metallic anthracite...

The only items that come to mind are the engine and battery covers...

Any other tips/best practices out there?

 

shift plate?

 

wood trim on the interior

 

grille, the wood trim on the interior, engine cover

 

everything everyone else said plus the door pillars, cause not many people have them painted the same color as their and theyre gunna peel anyway

 

Door pillars look better shiney black to mactch in with the tinted window, just like the jdm window visors but shiney. IMO

 

How would you paint the wood trims/engine cover/grill with. A paint brush or air brush?

 

air brush if u have one...4 dollar can of spray paint works well too

 

well i was just thinking of something to be different....

 

Yea, I know That's just my

 

I have 2 bottles of paint from acura dealer and body shop. Might plaster up my grill to look somewhat like the mugen and air brush the paint on. Well, have to clean up the air brush first.

 

Hmmm...what about color keyed door handles? Has anyone done this?

Or perhaps the OnStar antennae? or would the paint not adhere well...

 

the canadian a-spec is like that.

take a look at a few pics of the canadian a-spec and do that same.

 

do you have a link for the canadian a-spec? I will try a google...
