what type of paint is the best paint to use when you paint the engine cover?
|
The paint itself doesn't really matter much. What's important is the prep work and proper dry times, that alone can take days when your layering multiple colors on it. I personally use krylon or rustoleum paints because they are the most convenient to get. 24 hour walmart ftw!

Haha! Awesome!!! We bad, We bad...!! :signs6:
Now I'll really be ready for the 2010 car show season! :party36: |

Thank you, so it got clear coated this morning, i should be able to ship it out by Tuesday. On to the next.
|
That turned out awesome, nicely done...
|
I got 2 more covers I am working on right now, one is the Dyrdek praying mantis and the other is an orange M&M lol. I also just did a random one for my sisters A4, we were hanging out at a car wash and I pulled her cover and went to town on it... took me about 2 hours, but I banged it out in 1 sitting, pic: http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/a...ngineCover.jpg

Here's a pic of my cover installed in the engine bay, Ted wanted to see it installed... also a closeup shot showing a little more detail in the gun flames and head... I posted these over in the photo thread as well...

First car show of the season here is this coming Saturday, the 10th, we'll see how the show crowds like it... :) |
yea let me know Troy
|
Wow, very cool stuff, I don't know how I missed this thread. Guess I need to be more active, lol. As much as I would love to have this done, right now any extra cash is going to hospital bills.
|
Well thank you. :)
|
Hey Ted, I saw a pic of Monica's cover, looks(ed) really good...
|
Well unfortunately, Monicas cover got pushed back a few days... the paint wasnt fully dry when it got cleared and ended up blending/running with the clear... so I already stripped it and laid down a new base coat, I'll be working on it all day tomorrow and then clearing it again monday or tuesday of next week, then hopefully have it shipped out by wednesday so she gets it by Friday...
|
again.. take your time. No worries. Rims got backordered too so i won't get them for another week ><
So maybe the week of the 19th... but I may not be able to go to the Scion RSVP event depending on the day they come in stuff happens :) You learn from this :P |
