    Stencils...

    Okay, this is kinda lame, but I want to go something on the airbox lid of the T/A.
    Lid will be flat black, lettering will be a deep silver.

    Not sure where to get the outline, or exactly what to put on the lid.
    Ideas on either?

    I was thinking something simple....maybe...

    this was just a piece of scrap aluminum I used to prove-out my air-box lid plaque. It looks wayyy better polished to a mirror finish and the impressions filled in with black acrylic paint.

    Not sure I actually want to go with "Slowass" on it.
    No one will get it.


    Ninja edit:
    Maybe just "Slowass" in cursive....and nothing else.
    Will get some people asking questions if nothing else.

    Puts something here, since he has me ignored.

    Hmmm, I think slowass is a good idea. Because you want people to ask qeastions and to think twice.

    Here's what I have...



    Painted the lid black on the front, taped a firebird logo on top of the black once it dried, painted the rest of the lid white. Remove logo and done

    I like this, how would you get rid of the SLP logo?

    What's a good paint to use on the plastics. I'm wanting to also paint the air lid base/radiator support. Looks worn out and faded

    Krylon Fusion has worked well for me the few times that I have used it on plastic. Surface prep is the key. Be sure to use a wax and grease remover or some other mild solvent to completely clean the surface before paint. Also, as plastic has a static quality to it, a tack clothe and dust free environment will assure you the best results.

    Like luos said, sand paper: use a low grit to make it rough to remove everything, end with about a 500-800 or so. Primer it. Put a couple of base coats of paint, LIGHTLY sand it with 1000+, put a couple of more coats. Clear coat, wet sand with very very fine grit. Done
