DIY Paint
Hey, whats the easiest way to paint the engine cover myself? I know regular paint will blister, so what's the kind I should be looking out for?
Also, If I want to paint the badges on the front and rear, what's the easiest way to take them off, and the easiest way to paint them?
lol everything has to be easy, I'm starting from the outside and going in pretty much.
thanks mate,
Nick

for the engine cover you can buy high heat or heat resistant paint at autozone or advance auto parts.
I painted my front badges with duplicolor plastic and trim spary paint also from autozone, then got white touch up paint and used the paint pen side to paint the word Scion. I just took the grill of and taped around the badge. Sealed at the end with some acryllic sealant. However if some rocks hit it, the paint will chip a little bit.
For the interior pieces I used the same plastic spary paint, and sealed it withe acryllic sealer. Check my cardomain site for pics.

For the Engine cover i just used regular paint and have had no problems with it yet, its still bright and shiny white. And for the debadging I just took a blow dryer to it for a couple minutes and started to easily pull it off by hand. I had a little bit of the double sided foam stick to the car so i just used some wd-40 on a rag and wiped it off, You could also use goo off or something along those lines.
