ENGEN COVER MOD DIY

[MasterKevin]

Did you pant the black part ? or just the greyish part red?

did you sand it back or just pant on top of it?

 

[leslie]

you can use eny product ..it must just be and (heat resistance) and bending resistance beacause its plastic and gets hot and then bends as you all know...
the black colour name is :bumper black.

i removed the 2 parts from each other...i then did the black peace (bumper black) aka (matt black) then did the red part ..both parts have ruff surfface so you dont have to sand it just clean it for your life,,,make sure theres no dirt on it..leave to dry for 4 hours..

Is this like a spray type paint that you used?

what paint did y9ou use? how did you do it. give the process in a list if you can...

did you mask the VW or can it come off?
The "TSI" lettering seems really hard to paint, any tips?

 

[ThunderPig]

I masked off the VW emblem, couldn't get it off without damage. The TSI lettering I did by hand, small brush and don't be in a hurry. I didn't sand the parts, cleaned with alcohol. For the center part I used auto touch up spray paint and model paint for the lettering.

 

[leslie]

yes its like an spray...they use this spray to do the big CAT truks engens..and like john deere trucks engens.
