RE: engine cover painted
Nice work.
I see pfyc.com now offers stencil kits for engine covers. I guess to please the Monte owners for removing the trunk lid covers from their product line?
Anyways I thought about purchasing one of the stencil kits for our '03 Pace car. I just don't want to change the car from whatever original is by adding chrome lettering to the engine cover.

Nice! Love the color shifting look.
So hard for a cop to accurately right down the color of your car on a ticket!

what is the best way to prep the cover, and what type of paint do you use? I would guess the paint needs to be able to withstand some heat as well as be flexable with the plastic.

since its rigid i sanded the plastic with 320 as best as possible. i then sprayed a coat of bulldog (an adhesive promoter), then followed with a filler primer. reason i used a filler was to be able to sand that as well. if you think your sand job is smooth enough primer may not be needed but i HIGHLY recomend using the adhesive promoter. i then sanded the primer with a 400 grit then proceded to shoot the necessary color. since my chosen color was a color shifter of sorts i sprayed black first, then the shifting color, than the clear coat
