Gotta luv Krylon Fushion for Plastics

Months ago I used the spray paint from Krylon for plastics on a couple of pieces in my engine bay. Then a couple weeks ago I used it to black out my headlight chrome.
I've been goin' for a "Black Theme" on the outside. Soo, I thought I'd throw in a little color. Tonight, I was bored, so I went with a couple other colors for some plastic in the engine bay and my Peeling stock grill.
Let me know what you think.

Nice!!! Get rid of the huge NISSAN burger on the engine cover. Also, black lettering on teh engine cover might be nice too.

Thanks,
I've gotta keep the burger, otherwise there will be a huge "place burger here" indentation left on the cover.
I agree on the black lettering. I've gotta wait a few days for the paint to dry before I mask the rest off.

Fill in the burger like I did:



I used epoxy filler and put it on in layers, letting each layer dry, and then sanding it. It took a bit of work, but it makes it look waaaay smoooother.

Dont forget to top it all off with clear coat

Looks sweet, p[rety heavy contrast of red though!! I just got crazy with some textured plastic paint as well. I painted the edges around the opening for my stereo, and then I painted the upper part where the info (my 7" screen) is. It was really flat and dull and smudged too easily. The I got excited and painted some of my engine pieces as well, gives it a nice texture...





I'll post some finished pics tomorrow...

Nice Jsmith. I can't wait to see the pics. Anyone know where I can get spray-on carbon fiber?
