I think it looks very good......



BTW is from the acura TL A-Spec concept

 

wow that looks nice!

 

WOW!!!! WHO AND HOW WAS THIS DONE? CAN THIS BE DONE WITH REGULAR SPRAY PAINT OR WHAT? SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS - JUST REALLY EXCITED!

 

wow, that looks absolutely amazing, im gunna do that when i get a chance
im sure you can do it with regualar plastic spray paint

 

what color is the outside of that car, because it would have to match or contrast perfectly to look good in person

 

Finally, one pimp mod I like!

 

high temp paint would be your best bet, HOPEFULLY it will adhere to plastic... i doubt you can powdercoat plastic

 

i'm gonna do that soon, exterior color = ssm, engine cover color = blue!

 

Doh! Someone beat me to it...I have that done with my 6gen Accord V6 coupe and will do it with my TL once I get it.

 

Do what? There's no picture there.

 

yea there is, you might need to wait till it loads

 

OK.

I see it now. Looks good. It appears the removable plastic covers have been taken off and spray painted. WalMart sells a plastic paint in any color you want.

I have seen the main engine cover painted red and it looked pretty good.

I don't think you would need high temperature paint on those parts I see. They are all plastic and should not see temps higher than about 180 degrees at most. The engine itself near the water jackets is not going to see higher than 215 degrees. Only the exhaust manifolds are going to get hotter than that and they are quite a bit lower.

The radiator reservoir is a mis-match. For shame.

I had a little corrosion thing going on (from the factory) with the V-Tech 3.2 lettering on the intake manifold. I polished it with aluminum polish. Not it looks shiny like chrome instead of brushed aluminum.

Anyone find a good way to keep that looking good?

 

bump. someone do this!!! take one for the team and try a few things uut, let us know what works, it looks amazing

 

That's hot! Whoever does it please show step by step so when I do it I don't screw up...no matter how easy it is better safe than sorry!

 

Hey, I got the same thing goin on. Is this a permanent solution? I was thinkin about asking the dealer to replace it. What brand of polish did you use?

 

What Paint did you use?

 

you need to use high temp paint, probably engine block paint, which will resist heat up to 500 degrees.

No, you can't powdercoad plastic

TO ensure it sticks, use some adhesive promoter first. But as long as you clean the pieces with a grease/oil remover (dawn) or any dish detergant, you shoud be fine

 

Check out JSMajzun's pic.

 

too monotone. If that's the aim, great but too bland.

 

i think that looks pretty good. post day time pics or better ones or something, and more. please. and give details on paint and process

 

click on the picture, it refers you to the thread it was originally posted in

 

HELL YEAH...

I would love to do that to my car...

Let's see NBP - so I'll have to buy black paint.... OHHHHHH WAIT....

Nevermind the engine's plastic is already black...

My bad...

 

Blue would be

Stick with silver
