Looks smart mate, what you paint the engine cover with spray paint?

 

[Reuuk]

use marker pen for the multi-jet

 

[Ryan D]

thought about that wasnt sure if it would work :/ then i thought about plastidip and just peel it off from surrounding taped off area but wasnt sure how it would stand up to heat
i might try marker pen, will it fade or anything like that? thanks

 

[Ryan D]

and mr and mrs tjet i used sand paper starting with 120 working through to 800 cleaned with thinner, then did 4 coats of halfords red enamel paint, 7.99 a tin used 1 and a half tins, then 2 coats of laquer left to dry for 24 hours, came out well i suppose to say ive never painted before really!

 

[Reuuk]

shouldn't fade...

plastidip would be rather fiddly to peal off around the letters imo.

 

[Ryan D]

yeah it could be as theres not a clear seperation of the lettering is there :/ it will do red for now! ill sort it when show season comes haha

theres loaaads of colours mate, yes it was spray cans youd be able to do it with one can most probably but i wanted an extra coat or so on it so i bought 2, all in it cost me around 20 pound as i already had sand paper and thinner. not a bad cheap mod imo!
