Painting/Wrapping Battery & Brake Fluid Reservoir

[The G Man]

Covers!!

 

Ok, after someone suggested that I should perhaps just DIY'd my engine cover, it got me thinking about the other covers. I would really like to match them to the engine cover, just the covers, leaving the surrounds black.

 

I have no clue as to the required stages for painting plastic, what types of paint to use, or how to prep, I could bodge away and spend fortunes on different combo's with poor results.

 

So what, in the opinion of any experts on here is a process that even this ham fisted clot could follow? and could you please list it in stages, ta

 

Also, would it be feasable to have them wrapped? What are the chances of getting a good colour match? For both processes. If it turns out well, I may decide to do more engine type dressing Never been interested before but having seen a few on here in various guises, it would be a cool mod IMO, for shows/meets etc to show off.

 

One thing though, I'm not really into CF

 

Many thankyoos in advance of the avalanche of info I'm about to receive

Biscuit is your man for wrapping (he's a regular Sir Mixalot)

 

If your a bit of a spod with things like I am and you have no prior experience of spraying things I'd have a good few practices on random bits of plastic before you start destroying the look of your engine.

 

As said I'm a spod too so my only advice is - don't use watercolours
