Over the last week, I've been working on a few cosmetic improvements on the car.
First off, I wanted to paint my Calipers. I sprayed them with G2 color matched to Synergy Green. They got 4 coats of green, and then once the I put decals on, I gave them three coats of clear.
While I had the wheels off, I decided to paint them black, using Duplicolor wheel paint. Four coats of black followed by four coats of clear.
Since I was painting these parts, I decided to do the Bowtie at the same time with the same paints: green on the previously chrome part, and black on the previously gold part. I had hoped to paint the black on the back of the plastic to maintain the texture of the original, but that didn't seem realistic. Once I removed the gold foil that had been on it, I realized the entire plastic is gold tinted.
