You could powder caot it instead, it will last longer and take a beating.

 

Thanks for all the help... I got a BBY and was trying to figure out what color would look the most fresh....

Classic Black

Silver

What do you think of making a fake ralli art? Do you just order a ralliart sticker and use it as the template?

 

anybody have pics of just putting mesh there?

 

I will post a pic of my car later provided it does not rain!

 

I have a BBY also and left mine black for the symmetry: Black spot on hood (vent), black spot on roof (sunroof), and black spot on trunk (wing).

If I were you though I'd start out silver because I think you want to experiment. And if you don't like it silver you can just repaint it black or even try out different colors.

 

two of my friends painted theirs but mitsu is replacing mine. might as well get what i can from them.

 

Mesh only

 

i think its stainless steel underneath. cause i scraped the black off with a wire pad, and it has rained on it a bit since. no rust, just looks metalic.

 

the vent is made of aluminum. I repainted mine with a Silver high head engine paint. I didnt clear coat it or anything. Doesnt chip, doesnt come off, stands up to rain and snow and so on.

 

I was thinking about taking mine off
anyone advise against it?
I do live in the NE so winters are a bit harsh

 

i have mine out but its not a daily driver an sets in the garage

 

it think its covered under warranty just get a new one

 

THAT would be great if it is covered under warranty... I will check with me dealer...

 

Even if it is covered under warranty it will do it again. It did it on my red Evo and my black one. I painted mine with Dupont Imron gloss black both times.

Let me tell you the factory coating is a royal paint in the *** to get off.You can't sandblast it cause the metal is so thin and will distort. You'll be there till the second coming of christ if you try to sand it off. The only thing I found that would touch it was aviation stripper.

I would just take that piece to a body shop and ask them what they would charge to prep and paint it.

 

Just took mine to the dealer and they are replacing it under warranty... Finally!! something on the EVO IS covered under this thing they call a warranty...LOL
