Yo, Check it out. I painted the plastic cover. I was thinking about camo, but it seemed alot more complicated than I could handle. So I painted it my favorite color... blue. I think I did a good job with it. Kotomile helped me with the masking of the letters, so I learned how to do that. I think it looks good as hell. the before shot. 
here is he aftershot.
What you guys think |

Not a whole lot. I taped up he VVTI and toyota emblem so they would stay silver. Then I cleaned the whole thing up with some oil, residue remover that my roommate gave me. Then I sanded it down with some 400 grit sandpaper. nothing really rough or to hard, just mainly to scour the surface. Then I wiped it all down again. Then I applied the adehesive promoter that singlecam recommended. Then applied the paint. Did 2 coats of promoter, then 3 of the paint. Gonna let it sit and make sure it is good. then put it back on. |
