I am redoing the paint scheme in my engine bay to Gunmetal for the surrounding schrouds and gold / copper for the main engine cover.

I was toying with the idea of putting my debadged letters on either the cover or the schrouds over the strut brace.


I have the silver or gold to choose from.

The color in the picture is very light from the flash ... the actual color is more of a gun metal ... Actually called Duplicolor Cast Coat Iron Engine Paint .

 

silver all the way man
keep it classy

 

Silver

Something about cars with gold badging bothers me.

 

Silver Dude....

 

I like silver

 

definetely silver

 

Silver FTW!!

if you want to show the real color in a picture you need to remove the flash

 

Are you doing that paint job yourself? What paint tools are you using? directly with a can?

 

Silver.

 

Rattle can .. sanded first with 600 wet then sprayed down with a plastic prep cleaner to cut grease/wax to prevent fish eyes. Then numerous light coats.

 

No flash .. still learning how to use this camera .. Canon Rebel XTi

 

Looks pretty cool; I'll be interested to see the finished product.

I vote silver as well.

How are you going to fasten the badging to keep the heat from melting glue or vibrations from shaking them loose?

 

3M double sided tape .. used it before with no problem.

 

Silver

 

How does the paint match with your car's color? is it close?

 

Close as GunMetal gets to WDP.

 

Do we only get to vote on the color of the badges? Or do we vote on repainting the car color too?

I say silver for the badge, and NBP for the color of the car so that everything flows better. You did ask right?

 

Car stays WDP .. paint is flawless ...

 

I think that will be a nice contrast with the WDP. I've seen the people who've tried white on those panels on their WDP and I just think it's too difficult to match. Definitely post pics when you're done and best of luck with the rest of the work.

 

Silver badges

 

Silver.

 

100% Silver

 

Silver as well for my vote

And I'm sure you're going to post pics of the finished project.

Best of luck with it

 

Ya I'll post pix ..
