Looks great! I was going to do that as well, but like Dan said, it holds some heat in there for our SS S/C

 

my car is maroon/burgandy...what color should i paint mine? yellow doesnt look that good with it and idk what color would look the best

 

It turned out awesome!

 

What kind of paint did you use? Spray paint or what?

 

yeah, cna't remember exactly what type of spray paint. its like $7 a can though at NAPA. and the red is actually fingernail polish.

 

So the Vasoline trick, you just rub it on the spots you don't want to have painted and it's all good from there?

 

Hot neon pink!


No im just kidding. I think Ill go with lazer blue and white.

 

we used a brush, dipped it in the vasoline, and carefully applied it, making sure to cover all spots by going back and forth a few times over each spot. its still easier than trying to tape it off. then you paint over it and when it dries, you wipe the vasoline off. now ours did take a little bit of the silver paint off, but we just sprayed a little silver paint on a small brush and touched it up.

 

I was debating whether or not I should paint mine. But after seeing how well Duane's and Wayne's turn out, I think I'm going to go do it. Maybe before the winter sets in. If not, in the spring.

Since the silver lettering was damaged (before I bought the car) by a power washer, I was thinking of painting it body color (victory red), and re-painting the letters and numbers silver.That presents me with a problem though. Theraised stripes going left to right are already painted red.When I paint the rest red, should I paint the stripes silver to match the lettering, or paint themgloss black tomatch the black color of the car's ground effects? I'm open to suggestions, so if you have any, let's hear them.

I'm thinking about painting mine somewhere down the road.
