How to customise your engine cover

[Jecs]

its not the same silver as the car, its a lil darker. its hard to find stores that have all the VHT range, some only stock the red and yellow for the brake calipers. so its best to look around and not buy the cheap $2 paints which will flake soon.

i was thinking of doing the fuel tank silver with the straps holding the tank white. At the moment the tank is drawing to much attention being the hot red and the colours dont blend. what do you guys think?

ey guys, do you have to use a 'heat resistant' type paint on the engine cover? or could you just use any plastic paint??

 

[Notorious]

for infusion and DFO, did you just use a paint brush on the lettering ?

you say hobby paint DFO, so i take it its not the heat proof stuff as ratty is sugesting ??

i used a calliper paint from supercheap (obiously heat resistant, 650deg it says lol), was about $12 for the highgloss midnight black and its a big can, i got 5 layers out of it and still some left, then got just crapola $3 can of red spraypaint for the lettering, sprayed some into cap of the can and then used brush to paint it on, works fine
