Default How to ruin intentionally $50 worth of decals (AKA: another half cover thread)

the problem:

an engine is not made of plastic and should not look like it is!

the solution (thanks MadCharger and RiderGrafix):


here's where it gets complicated. no one makes decals in go-mango, so my solution was to order a can of color matched spray paint, place the decals over the sections i painted, then repaint the whole things black. alot of effort for a set of truly custom half covers, but i think it was well worth it in the end!

sanded and ready to paint, it was almost a shame to ruin their original finish:


a coat of GMG:


after two more coats:


decals go on:


resprayed in black:


decals coming off, waiting for clear coat:


$50 worth of vinyl:

They look good Solid...$50 is probably cheaper than having a pro do it and it looks like you did a good job.

for doing it yourself and giving RiderGrafix some easy business
