painting "mustang" in rear bumper

[Maniak]

instead of getting the inserts for the rear bumper cover, i was thinkin about masking off the area and painting it black. i am also going to do the lower area just above the exhaust tips where the oval section is (look at pic for referance)

should i just use a duplicolor rattle can? i think it would come out ok as long as i prep properly (sand the area where i am painting)

what do you guys think?

just get the inserts for the mustang, less hassle

paint the bottom portion with a rattle can, just scuff the surface first with a 3m scotchbright pad, get it all clean and put down a couple coats.

If your going to do that mask it off, scuff it down and use Wurth satin black, do a few test panels b4 you spray cuase you could run it, but once you get it dialed in this stuff looks awsome, its got a nice wide spray area too. Do one mist coat, let it flash off, then one heavier coat, let it flash off, and a final coat which should be a little bit heavier than your last coat :headbang:

dont paint the mustang black just in case down the road you dont like it...but painting the bottom part is a badass idea since the old 5.0 sn95 gt's had that painted black


if you want a how to on SVTP a guy named albino96 did it to his car and has a write up on there

wurth, where can u get this, auto or hardwear store?

i didnt think about the dripping but was deffinetly going to mask it. so test panels..like a piece of cardboard held up parrell to the bumper cover?

inserts may be easier... lol

I think it'd be too hard to mask it off perfectly.

thinkin about it but the mustang bumper is one of the key 94-95 cobra features and i would hate to get rid of that as there are very little cosmetic differences between me and the 96-98ers!!

I did my lettering with a paint pen, 2 coats.
Got it from Menards, metallic silver.

Oh BTW, I did it back in October of 02.

^^^ damn, that looks really good! what kind of prep work did u do for that?

i like ur marauder, looks mean!!

 

[rdsnake]

I don't think you could mask off the corners perfect enought for it to look good. Id say get the letters...

I cleaned the surface with Windex thats it!

I painted the letters freehand, no masking.
