srobrien Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hey, I was wandering if anyone has painted their aftermarket bonnet vents? I am going to do them black to match the vents on the chargespeed bumper. What paint would your recommend, something that wont flake and will withstand engine temp.

rtbiscuit Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 if its the mesh your refering to, i'd just change the mesh for something thats already been powder coated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srobrien Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 I would but it's moulded into the bonnet so will need to be painted R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 standard car paint will withstand the heat, just use a good primer and laquer and it should be fine. if its aluminium use an ally primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Looks much better mate!! Enjoy more polishing when you get the bottles! Found that a final go over with rim wax makes it easier to keep them clean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
