I want to paint This:



Any Ideas on Color. I am having the plastic pieces painted to match the body. Thought about painting the cover dark grey and the lettering Black Chrome or polishing it.

Thanks in advance.

 

I did wrinkle black with sanded/polished lettering and I like it. Would be a good option for you too probably.

 

Whatever color you choose make sure that the paint is high temp such as engine or caliper paint. If not the heat will just make ordinary paint fall off

 

Might I suggest white letters on a red engine cover? I'm thinking of the contrast effect upon opening the hood.

 

Get the intake manifold cover PnP'ed to look like chrome, and get the engine cover wrapped in carbon fiber. That's what I'm in the process of doing

 

^^ sounds like a plan, i might end up doing that too. Time to make a new club!

 

What did you do to make the wrinkle finish and how is it standing up? I want to do that too and i am painting the plastic part AM to match my car.

 

buy wrinkle paint and then paint. then stick the item into the oven

 

^^^^^ Exactly ^^^^^^^ Just bake it at like 200 for 15-20 mins and it'll wrinkle up nicely.
