thanks, and kinda. i took them off but had them powdercoated. i will never paint a metal part again. its just not worth it, powdercoating is so much stonger.

How do you powercoat something, or is that something you have to take them and have it done?

Ya you have to send it to a shop. Unless you have the oven and equipment. Either way its not easy.

Egleone6 · 06-07-2008, 12:01 PM

Ok, negative on the Oven and Equip, so what is so hard about painting it yourself?

kyle99gtp · 06-26-2008, 01:22 AM

prepwork makes the paintjob. if youi prep them good, the paint will be good too.

Goto either grandprixstore.com or reflectiveconcepts.com and get the engine cover overlay set. Reflective concepts is cheaper if I'm not mistaken, and I just ordered a set for my GTP. LOTS of color/reflective combinations to choose from.
