as i remember here has a member post how he do it with pictures as well as willing to do it for others, anybody kept that post or know how to do it? thanks!!

 

unscrew the plastic plugs on the hood and take the vent off. then use paint stripper from menards it works good.

 

just dont let the paint stripper soak into your skin for too long, it'll eat away and sting your skin...

 

are you serious i got that stuff all over my hands removing paint from my fmic and it didnt sting and i didnt wash my hands at all. then i dropped a deuce and still didnt wash my hands. i guess im just a bad @ss

 

+1

then i suggest clear coating it if you want that silver look

 

yeah after a few minutes I felt a stinging sensation, like putting salt on an open wound

 

how to paint your hood vent

1. Use about 400-600 sand paper. sand the entire thing nicely.
2. clean it off with soap and water.
3. clean it off with wax n grease remover, or window cleaner.
4. If you have any bare metal I was taught to cover it up with primer, but its just a vent...
5. tack it off
6. paint
7. clear

I painted mine silver and it came out okay but i skipped alot of steps, its held up so far in heavy rain and sun. i didnt even clear it. i'd paint it silver instead of leaving it raw.

 

do you mind posting pictures of yours

i've been wating to either paint mine silver or leave it the raw silver color. i have a silver 9

 

it has been raining nonstop but i'll try to get a picture. I'd paint it silver then clear it. All i did was paint it silver and left it. I found some silver duplicolor import spray paint in my garage and just used it haha.
