Default Fuse panel covers

Since everyone has overwhelmed me with the question "How is your fuse panel cover made!!!!!!" I decided to take a few pics. Its kinda getting annoying..

03JGMonte made it, all you need is some sheet metal, bend it, paint it and apply 3M adhesive tape. (the grey/silver one, not the white one)

Received as bare metal. Sprayed it with Duplicolor exact match gloss Victory Red, 2-3 coats of white primer & 4-5 coats of the paint. wet sanded the 4th coat to smooth out the defects & then a final coat to give it a semi-gloss look. Decal is a real factory decal meant for a front plate cover(NY doesn't allow single plates so can't have one anyway)

That looks really nice. I love that 3M tape. I've got a huge roll of it, it's like 25 feet. Should last me a while. I use it everywhere
