I cleaned them all up with simple green and then scuffed the backs of them with a brillo pad. I used an adhesion promotor prior to painting and used 500 degree Dupont high temp engine paint. Cleared over them a few times to finish it off.

No worries. A brillo pad, an SOS pad or something that will scuff up the plastic to help the paint stick. The adhesion promotor I use is made by Dupont as well. Its in a spray can and should be right with the spray paints. Oreilleys or any auto part store that carries paint should have the adhesion promotor.Quote:

i say the ss.
u mean have it engraved? i'm getting the head plate w/ the SS. u think it might be to many logo's in there? dk what to do...maybe i should keep it clean and leave the cover plain.
it would actually look something like this with my built number at the bottom
