I did the same thing to my aftercooler, but with touch up paint instead.

 

Great job!

 

i like!!

 

So u think suzuka touch up paint would work?

 

Looks good. This would be a cool mod for any recessed lettering, numbers etc....


Just be carefull with the nail polish remover as it contains Acetone not alcohol. If you spill or drip Acetone on plastic it will eat it up.

 

For the question if using touch up paint would work, I'm sure it would but it might be hard removing the excess paint. Maybe the nail polish remover would get rid of it just as easy?

 

I don't know if there will be enough contrast. A darker blue would look better in my opinion but you can prove me wrong! Something in between Leguna and Suzuka. If you have the Suzuka touchup paint laying around, give it a try and post a final pic! Also, I let the coat sit for 1 minute rather than the 30 seconds I did in the first attempt.

Anyway, I Just used my NFR touch up paint and it looks like the red I was going for but the touchup paint isn't as thick as the nailpolish?

S2kSpaYellow: Thanks for the tip.

 

After letting it sit for 1 minute and wiping off excess with a paper napkin, most of it came off that I could see the aluminum shift knob again but when I touched it, it was sticky. I dabbed the napkin in a minimal amount of nail polish remover and it took it off as easy as it took off the nailpolish. Hope this helps.

 

very nice. free mods that look good rock!

 

Great write-up

And for those who plan on ordering Rick's engraved Voodoo knobs, the knobs come wrapped with a silicone-like rubber piece with the engraved area exposed ready to be painted. Simply paint over the numbers and peel off the rubber peice off.
