Here's mine, before i did blackhousing on head/foglights and painted the grill!

Got a problem with these, the paint is not sticking(adhere?) to the plastic, i work as a carpainter but this is the first time i dont get it work! The paint is cracking up when its too much heat under there..
It's only on the lower (big) one over the headlights and radiator.. Tried several things like scrubbing with degreaser, silicone remover etc and a coarse cloth after i removed all of the painting.. It is painted for the 3rd time and still wont stick..

I used plastic primer, primer after that, sanded with P800 by hand and painted..

Sry for bad english..

A member mentioned none of my old engine cover pics are showing (probably bad links), so reposting

Some really great looking engine covers on here!

Here is my contribution...



It was all red but a couple of members said it needed another color added as it stood out too much.

How did you guys tape the "V6" lettering? Seems like it would be difficult to do.
