In my quest to see how many mods I could do before I had to take the paper plate off of my new car I painted my engine cover red and clearcoated the black parts, painted the taillight bezels, and the fuse cover. Nothing special

Last weekend painted my lower front fascia, Bowties, and pinstriped my wheels.

Looks good....I love painting to make it yours! I am about to paint my engine cover as well.

Yeah I've painted my bezels, engine cover, front fascia, both bowties, pinstriped my rims, fuse cover, for about 30$ total

What kind of paint did you use and where did you buy it from?

vroomapunk · 05-13-2012, 08:24 PM

Just used rust o leum enamel base and clear. And the automotive primer, also sanded the pieces, paint came from lowes

I can't decide whether to paint my front fascia or not. Did you plasti-dip it? Was it difficult and do it with the bumper on?

Do it! It makes such a big difference and looks amazing. I did use plasti dip, I made a step by step DIY here with tips and pictures: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221707

Have you, or anyone, tried or thought about painting the steering wheel bowtie?

I used vinyl and an exacto knife....I thought about painting it, but this was easier and matched my rally stripe.

MediumLabowski · 05-14-2012, 06:16 PM

Damn, looks good dice.
I have extra vinyl in medium blue, just like that...
the bowtie on the wheel is textured so i didnt think it would stick
But let me get a few beers inside me and we'll do it.
