Max: I finally got to Wal Mart tonight to get the paint pens. Nice selection, thanks for the tip.
I already painted the body with Gray Krylon Plastic Paint, everything but the dome, I will try to post pics when I finish, although with this weather it could be a couple more weeks

 

Let's see some pics when you're done!

 

Have an extra Pink Margarita (or 5) for me on Valantines.

Got it installed and it looks great.

 

Ever think about painting your front grill edges black? (The original part was silver that was on the edge of the black grill ?? )

I think that would look fantastic!!

 

Had not thought about that, but I like the idea.

 

Sure thing, as soon as I'm able, and I'm not embarrased by the results

Max: I uploaded my photos finally.
I used Krylon Fusion for Plastic Textured Shimmer #2520 Black Spray Paint.
Did use the Elmers paint sticks fron the Chrysler Emblem.....PIA!
Read I'm not that great a detail painter, but I still think it came out fairly well.

Peace
Paul

 

Here is a pic of my engine cover that I did last year, primed and sanded first......then Krylon paint , silver touch up paint for the letters and gold leaf for the Chrysler emblem and a resin MB emblem at the back. I am currently painting my OEM MB engine cover will post pics when I am done.

 

Looks great. You definately took a lot of time and effort and lots of love to do this.

 

Nice dang job!

I found that with getting older, my eyes aren't what they used to be. I had to bring from work a swing arm magnifier with a halogen light built in. Sure made it easier!

 

I have to ask...
how are YOUR eyes?

Nice job!

 

Crossfire LTD, where did you get the Mercedes emblem you put on your engine cover? Very nice job! Is that the ECU compartment cover that you painted red?

 

Ah yes I too used a magnifier...hand held!
My vision sucks now

BTW thanks for the kudos on the paint job.

Paul

 

Thanks!!!!..........The eyes like everything else are getting old....lol. I got the resin MB emblem off of Ebay - Germany (www.ebay.de) for $6.00 (US) with free shipping, and the ECU cover is painted red.

 

Any chance of giving me a link for a MB decal?

 

Here's mine,tell me what you think

 

Hmm.. mixed fealings.

I don't like the look when it is uninstalled.
But, installed it looks pretty good.

The center chrysler log between the wings is telling me it should have some black & gold/chrome/something to better match the black under the hood.

I do like it, but there is something "flat" and unfinished.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Maybe gold leaf the wings and paint the Chrysler emblem like post #27.

 

The cover looks great, but the detailed engine compartment is awesome. Very clean. Andrew would be proud
