after seeing some of them, i've been thinking about it. I think i would do it in black because my entire car is in silver/black.

 

just an FYI... the easiest way to do that would be to paint the whole cover black, tape the tops of the letters off, and then paint the whole cover silver. tear the tape off and voila, silver cover w/ black letters!

 

Or you can paint the whole thing and use a black Sharpie with a chisel tip to make the raise letters black again.

 

so...krylon for plastics w/o any sanding and primering?

 

after the painting i dont have to cut around the letters?? im afraid im going to tear of the paint when i take of the tapes from the letters.

 

You could put vinyl on the letters to cover them after you paint them. If you do that you can change the color to.

 

That's right. It's called Krylon Fusion for Plastics. Good stuff, not many colors however.

 

i went to the autozone today.. sadly.. i didnt find the kryol.. so i bought a dupli color primer for plastic... blue dupli color heat resistant or whatever. and dupli color lacquer ( or what) not bad.. but its not perfect. i got some dirt on it(( (wind ) so its not perfect. like.. 3 of 5 star. but i decided to get CF engine cover and just paint the letters. that looks better i think.
anyone knows where can i get good but inexpensive CF engine cover?

 

so here it is.. not bad..

 

those all look great I did mine in gold along with all my fluid tops.

 

^^pic?

 

so you guys like mine?

 

yes! very nice! did you paint the battery cover too?

 

If you find a cheap one please let me know.

 

no.. the battery is came like that.
u can buy optima battery and they have red/yellow and blue cover

 

oh yeah.. i had those stickers.. it was PAIN IN THE A$$ to get those off.... thats why i leaved the 16 valve part on it..

 

My tC is in the shop right now and I'm having them paint it IIP. I figured it'd be easier that way. Then I'm going to cheat and get the Randode stickers.

 

Yea, its a pretty easy thing to paint... but if anyone is too afraid let me know and I can take care of it all for you..

 

uhm.. gut

 

i think its really EZ... ok my job is not perfect.. but i think to paint the engine cover is not a big deal..
first u nead a primer... the paint and the finish shiny coat

i sanded the plastic.. then primer.. 4-5 layer of light coat then 1-2 light coat of finish plus 1 med wet coat....

and its really looks good now.. but i should paint it in the garage or bathroom or whatever.
