soon to be outside paint

 

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

 

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.

 

thanks

haha, thats the idea! the top will be this color an the bottom will be a deep candy purple

 

Looks great, Can you try to post some larger pics

 

ya, its raining in my part of cali lately so when it suns up i will.

also, i sprayed the clearcoat a lil heavy an was excited to put it on so i didnt properly let it dry before i rushed to put it on the next morninng so you WILL see some imperfections

 

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.

 

here is a good link to how to do it.

i used automotive paint and clear


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
