Started smoothing and painting some engine plastic
Smoothing these parts is a blast!
Well i have spent most of the day sanding,priming and sanding.
I went with a medium metallic silver, black and the body color. I am almost done with the intake cover and am working on fuse box and then a few other peices.
Let me know what you think
I need to finish up the fuse cover tomorrow and do a few touch ups on the intake cover.
I will paint the intake tube and the radiator cover silver when i have some time again.

cool...... yeah i seem many paint jobs on plastic that look good, but after a few months it start to peal off because they didnt use adhesion promoter and didnt do good preparation for paint. good job, lookin clean !!! tip: after primer use only 400 to wet sand the primer
