Hi Folks,
.
.
.

After much planning and deliberation..
.
.
.
.
Months of scrimping and saving..
.
.
.
.
I decided I wasn't happy with the colour of part of my car..
.
.
.
.

So I bit the bullet.. and did it...(See pictures attached)

Cheapskate. Tippex, was it?

[Dazzler]

No Way... It's real paint (from the local $2 shop...)

[YOSOYPEPO]

funny mod men!!!

[tzwientjuh]

I also wanted to that with mine

[Hemmi]

not bad

Will it withstand the heat ?

[Lakes]

Shambles i thought you would have kicked him out into the style department  looks good Dazz, do you think the paint will come off? i think would be nice with that plastic cover chrome and the red writing, there are chrome companys that just do plastic too. like the plastic i30 grill badge

[LuciferDarklord]

Nice work Dazz, I also had thought about doing that one.  Its pretty measly of Hyundai not to have done that in the factory - must have saved them a whole $1.80 per engine cover, but I guess when you add that up over a few hundred thousand cars it makes a difference.  Did you use a brush?  I had thought about using a piece of rubber like a 'reverse stamp' - doing the silver first, then masking it after its dry and doing the red.

not bad

Will it withstand the heat ?

Think so (Doesn't seem to get that hot..)

L-D..

I just used a brush (2 coats) might need a third at some stage.. Used a stanley knife to tidy up a minute spill..

Hey Dazz that looks good.

[Dazzler]

How's it going (the club is going great guns) 

[jamiec]

Devonport airport this afternoon so back to warm Brissy  for them. O and

Hi Jamie "C" here 

https://i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,1833.new.html#new

will be worth a look in a month or so (P.M. me if you are going to be over this way and I'll show you around).. and take you for a spin in the CRDi 

I only work 12 noon to 5 PM Monday to Thursday otherwise I should be available 

[i30 Roolz]

Nice work - wish all my mods could be that cheap!!! 

[Medic01]

me reckon some carbon fibre would look good as a cover..
but red paint is just as good

[ozsnowman]

Red goes faster lol, I must try this too then

[Dazzler]

Update.. Heat hasn't effected the cheap paint I used. I did 2 coats but intend doing a 3rd one shortly just to tidy it up a bit.
