Painted Lettering - Fast 90

[tatertot91]

Just thought i'd show you guys what i'm working on
Got a Fast 90 but the red paint on the raised lettering was a little faded so i decided to paint it a little bit
Got some touching up to do but here's what i got so far

Before


After

Go there!

I hope when you go to a dyno day it shows you lost torque



being totally serial do you have a throttle body to match it, I never know when you go shopping to your local crack junky looking for some quick money.

Not yet, he hasn't come across one of those yet
But i got him scavenging the city trying to find one
Hoping to find myself a Nick Williams, heard those were the best
Dont know if fast fixed the problems they had with theirs yet
Soon enough

first it's the panels, then the magnesium rims, the whole scam with the headers and now this. Did you pick up badass's headers yet?

He didn't wanna give em up so i had to find my own
Kooks headers in clearwater, fl got a small dent in em but still in nice shape
and there's a shop down here with MLS gaskets for $20 for when i put them on
You dont wanna know how much i paid

enough off topicness
i wanna hear opinions

I tell you what, I think this paint scheme would actually look better under the hood of badass's car

I think you should grind down the fast lettering and paint it gloss black.

I was thinking make this one match badass's car and make him want it real bad, then trade him for his 92

Gloss black is a little overdone
I want to do black but more of a semi-gloss black to give it a stock look
had another picture i wanted to show you, but cant find it anymore
this is all i got and what i was thinking

Yep that pic has the right idea I want to see those kooks, what kind of y-pipe etc.

No y-pipe, x-pipe. But i'm not at that point yet.
Probably gonna go with some magnaflow 4x9s
I'll PM you pics

i like it its nice to see some thing new

[tatertot91]

i like it its nice to see some thing new

Yeah i got tired of seeing everyone do the same old gloss black
Decided i would try this
Think i'm gonna end up doing the semigloss black later on to get that stock look, but for now i'll see how i like this when it gets put on the car

Great paint job Alex. That is going to match my engine bay perfectly when I copy your paint job! Can you PM me the paint color codes and brand that you used? I will call it, "The Tater Mod" I think it looks great. Dont listen to anything c5z28 has to say! Besides being a homosexual, he is an alcoholic and only posts when he ripped and hanging with his boyfriends.

Yeah maybe i can get my own sticky
Thanks for the compliments
I'll probably end up going with satin black later on, but i'll try this out for now

i'll just wait for c5 to chime in on this one

What is the best way to grind the lettering and stuff off of there?

[tatertot91]

Your best off using a sanding block
just use a real gritty sandpaper like maybe 100 grit and keep working your way to finer and finer paper
I would suggest sanding and painting the whole thing because if you just do the one spot you might end up with a different texture on that spot seeing that the intake is textured

thanks

Found what i was looking for
Took me forever to find it
I plan on something like this in the future
