Does anybody have pics of it? The nasty looking plastic piece that is in front of the windshield washer fluid.

 

i painted mine with a rattlecan, along with all the other paitned items you see. i couldnt get that piece out, so i just taped everything up and painted away. it turned out OK, but i wishi woulda cleared it or actually used a real gun on it.

 

^^ that's sick man. nice job.

 

Thx for the pic! Looks good.

Anybody have it in gloss black?

 

thanks guys....actually i saw the other day where someone had their lid, lower airbox, and all the bumper supports profesiionally painted black and buried in clear....ill see ifi can dig that thread up.

 

found it.........no pics of the paitned stuff isntalled, but this is the nicest painted engine bay stuff i have ever seens before.

I seen a guy have this part carbon fiber'ed. Looks awesome, he said it was very high, ($$$) though

 

Except for the LID, those are what mine are going to look like. As well as my FRC's, and interior pieces. I'm having them done this week while the rest of the car is being painted. Can't wait to see it done!

 

nice engine bay!

 

i spraed my interiors pieces w/ a gun, and the quality is so much nicer than that of just spraypaint....you'll love it. be sure to post up some pics when you get everything back together

 

Did you do HVLP? or is that neccessary?

 

I was thinking of buying sheets of carbon fiber rolls and laying them over the factory pieces and drowning them in gloss laquer. I think carbon fiber is going to be my next addition to the polish/ de-clutter theme.

 

nah i didnt use an HVLP gun, just a low-end sharpe gun that someone gave me for free. i would suggest a HVLP gun tho, bc i think i wasted a lot of paint.

 

ive had mine out twice to paint it rattlecan gloss black... pretty easy to get out, just bend the front bumper back a bit... seems to be holding up fine in there with teh heat and elements...

 

I just recently took out the bumper support along with all the brackets in the front end and am having them painted. I'll post pics once they are done, the parts are at the painter now.

 

i couldnt get the push pins out to pull the bumper support off. instead of the pin comming out, the bumper started to crack a little bity. can you just cut em off and just by some more? if so...wherecan you get them?

 

any pics of it painted in ta/s

 

This is kind of a bad angle, but this is what I did with rattle can. It turned out pretty good and is glossy, but just not like I wanted it. I think it look real good when done .. hopefully lol

 

i plan on removing that piece (its called the radiator support) and use some polished aluminum band to hold the radiator on each side. then fab a corvette blackwing in for an intake

 

That looks awesome, kyle.
