But yeah, good stuff and it gives contrast to the dark body color, I myself wouldn't mind touching up a couple things red and black/charcoal under the hood. ~* Brotherhood Of Eternal Sleep *~ - Nocturnal Supremacy -

I did mine in silver to match my car. Had it purple at one time to match the graphics, but noticed the engine plastics actually continue the bumper body line when the hood is up so I painted the covers to match. Yours looks real good dude.

All the parts i painted i tooked out easily. Using a brush is not good and it will leave brush marks on the plastic. Also i didnt use clear coat on mines. this was the paint i used Last edited by gtscelica05; May 10, 2004 9:35pm. Gtscelica05 Carbon Blue
