The panel that holds the cloth is a very thin plastic if held to the light (when the glue is off) you can practically see through it. It is very sensitive when I scraped off the glue on it. It actually damaged in with deep scratch marks! I learned the hard way using a flat razor knife that you would use for this process. Tip: use mineral spirits or a light amount of paint stripper with a cloth to dissolve the glue and never use a tool. I could not believe how sensitive it was. I had to use bondo to smooth out the scratches the razor knife made. Lots of sanding, wet sanding and primer took care of it. 4/5 rounds of it! Y A cheap tip using the yellow paint: I ordered the Ralley Yellow paint from duplicolor(20 bucks a can) but of course I ran out. I went to Wal Mart of all places and found an EXACT match! It was Krylon Sun Yellow however it is gloss. I used a satin clear glaze to tone it down. It costs 3 bucks a can! |

I designed the mediallion and then shipped the model off to china and had them custom machine it for me. Unfortunatly this is a one of a kind item, I would love to make some more but don't have a license to sell GM related items.
As for the clear coat I took it to my paint guy who did my stripes. So there are 2 coats of SIM and 3 coats of clear. However it doesn't matter what type of clear you use, make sure you put 2-5 coats on and then use a hand glaze and polish it to get that extra shine. |

Cool, Heres my IOM engine cover. For those that are interested this is the factory GM painted cover. I had them throw it in when I finalized the deal on my NEW ride.

Its reflection. Flash was on and reflected off the chevrolet emblem. I would die if it was overspray. LOL

Not to bust your chops, but I hope they're a bit better than the last one
