Thanks guys. Yes I sanded it with 400, 800, then 1000. 3 dry coats of filler primer, then two wet coats followed by the color coat and clear. I sanded between each primer/color coat with 1500. I did this on my last WS6 about 4 times, never flaked.
Just gotta make sure you always put the clips in the EXACT same spot as it will dig in a bit.
Thanks again everyone. I also did the wire mod as you can see

^ It'd be MUCH worse on my red car. Prolly why I'm not thinking of painting the lid red.
I think he needs some shiney stuff now! Paint the rad support Onyx Black and bury it in about 5 coats of clear! That's what I did. Helped a lot!

Hey, I have an idea OP. What if you cut strips of Velcro and use the softer side on the clips to where it doesn't rub the paint off of where they sit? Just my two cents cause if it were a several hundred dollar paint job or the $1.99 paint you can get at Wal-Mart, I don't wanna have to deal with later to pro-long other stuff that could be done to the car, lol.

They have a ton of it at Advance Auto!
Hopefully when the bird gets on there it'll change your mind. It's kinda odd seeing a whole pewter lid.. just seems like it needs something on it.
LOL yeah don't paint the lid red. I was torn between a couple different colors when I had my red WS6. I painted the lid red, put it on, took it off and sanded all the paint off.
Thanks man. As soon as we get out of this damn 40* weather I plan to have it spotless.
Thank you sir.
Thanks!
I'm going downstairs to grab the velcro right now.
Yup, should look pretty good I hope.
Thanks man!
I feel like the radiator support being pewter would have definitely been pushing it. As for the wavyness, I don't know man, it's just the lid. You can see it here, how it comes right from the factory.
Thank you sir.
Thanks!
