Well first clean it, then prime it then paint it the color of your choice. Comon 2k2civicballer not that hard! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I couldnt paint that either... i tried to do white and blue, but the tape that i used to mask off the rest of the cover from the letters, just ripped some of the blue off, so i had to strip it and re-paint it.

You can use touch-up paint...a pain and then some but with a little patience it can be done.

yea i also primed it with some caliper paint because regular primer just peeled of when i masked the letters off. also if your using plasti-kote candy apple flake paint, it will NOT show unless you use some kind of primer. good luck with the letters, i'm just going to get a sticker made in the size of the letters and just put it over the letters.

thanks...i was wondering how to successfully paint the Honda Vtec without hafting to mask the fizzy out of the cover. i wasnt wondering how to paint something that's plastic. so to the 3 of you that actually helped, thanks lol

i will go pick up some touch up paint and take my time...i think it will be ok just time consuming. thanks guys


Cheers,
