Nice. I was thinking of doing the lines in the spark plug cover plasti-dip black, and then the mitsu logo and MIVEC with the same. Not sure how it would turn out though. I will probably just leave everything silver....nice and fresh.

Here are the parts installed. Sorry for bad lighting in some of the pics.

























And replaced the hideous hex bolts with stainless steel allen head bolts

One thing if you use this stuff. Wear a mask...not a plain dust mask, but one that is made to block out fumes and all that shit. I developed a cough yesterday, which is continuing today...and have a sore throat now today. I attribute it to the TITANIUM DIOXIDE in this paint. There was a big toxic cloud in the garage that took 30+ minutes to dissipate, and my dust mask was covered in the metal dust. Titanium Dioxide exposure symptoms include sore throat, cough, irritated lungs, etc...all of which I have. This shit is brutal....just be careful.

came out nice. we used the red metal flake yesterday for his TL badge. one or two coats on it and it looked factory. and yes wear a mask. i got a slight cough today as well. nothing major just an annoyance really

Post a pic? Since I was covering black parts, it took 4 or 5 light coats before the black was all covered. I probably ended up doing 8 coats when it was all said and done...not including the adhesion promoter and clear. Two coats is probably enough for chrome emblems though

no pics. it was done late at night in the garage. he wanted me to use one coat. i told him to use 2 but he refused. whenever i see him again we'll take pics with his d300 so you can see it in quality. i told him about what you did but he wanted to wait for your pics to see what it would look like. knowing him he wont go for it though

Just to clarify....who is "he" that we are talking about?

[Law Grandeur]

[92vig]
