Painting Engine Cover
#11
I'm going to do it in the next couple of weeks, just waiting for a really nice weekend so i can be generous with my drying times
(then I'm going to tackle doing more engine parts / fuse covers inside the car / certain door parts) After I get comfortable with the process of painting plastic
and I would REALLY love to pain the bow-tie on my steering wheel red (it's small and caved in though) so I'm not sure the best way to do that :P

That's a good idea. I should try to find a nice cheap one. I was thinking bail polish but I like your way better. I think it will go good with the black and red wheelskin I just bought

you can probably control the paint pen better. nail polish would need a good couple of coats too, and would probably chip off after not too long. especially if you got a crappy kind.
i like the idea, hmmm...might do that to mine! i'm gonna steal yer great idea

hehe. i'll be looking around for a darker orange one that will match my trim. neon orange won't do!
i did buy that engine cover yesterday from morad. can't wait to get it and figure out what i want to do with it as far as paint. i'm definitely getting those overlays for the raised letters and stripes, but i still want to paint it. i was thinking of trying to get creative and match the trim on my doors. we'll see.

i saw that idea on the grand prix forum, that's a cool idea. i never would have thought of doing that. i still think i'm going to get the overlays for the lettering, i have an idea of the colors i want to get. but for the rest of the cover....well that's still up in the air.
