What kinda paint did you use......

 

I used Dupli Color high heat paint. Two coats of each color. For the black I used color DE1634. The red was DE1632 and the orange was DE1652.

 

I thought when u paint radiators and intercoolers your supposed to use radiator paint cause the thick paint blocks some air or something?

 

Anyone have pictures of a GG RA w/ the nose ring & lip plasti'd??
greatly appreciated!!


did you end up plasti'ing the lip down the road???

 

I plastidipped my lip and ring. The ring came out fine but i keep getting some spots on my lip that look wet. Can you use regular flat paint on the plastidip or will it eat it up?

 

I'm pretty sure u could without any issue it would stick.

 

thanks to this thread i am now running to home depot and buying a can right now.

 

did you guys remove the front ring or just tape it off?

 

I would suggest removing it. A number of users have take the bumper off completely to remove the ring whereas others, like myself, have removed it without going to that extent. It is held on by 15-20 screws (I forget exactly how many there are).

 

so you can get it off by just undoing 20 screws?

 

Yes, although a few of them near the bottom are pretty tricky. There is a How To thread about removing the ring without taking the bumper off IIRC.

 

found a "how-to" thread on plasti-dipping the front ring, thanks guys. heres the link to anyone else that needs it: http://s1.zetaboards.com/soflancer/topic/3839603/1/

 

Or how about the one already on our boards: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...front-lip.html

 

Here is the thread that I was referring to (i.e., removing the nose ring without removing the bumper): https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...-o-bumper.html. It was not in the How To section. Rather, it was in the Show and Shine section, so my apologies with that.

 

first coat is on. you werent kidding when you said some of them were tricky...
