Engine Cover paint, and some moddage - Toyota Yaris Forums

spkrman · 01-10-2007, 10:08 AM

I'll update with more pics.

Red NST pulley sould match up nice... along with a few other red goodies in/around the car... culminating with (possibly) a 2 tone paint job, red on the bottom... or maybe a red stripe... who knows what will happen.. but, its red and silver all the way

-----------

Painted :)

next comes mounted pics, after some drying and buffing

I was just thinking of doing this.... what paint did you use, and are you planning on putting the lettering back on? I was gonna do mine in white w/black lettering (theme of car: white,black, with blue accent's)

looks great

You can always mask the letters before painting and leave them in the original black. Not fancy looking, but gets the job done...
Or paint them before the rest and mask them. Either way works

spkrman · 01-10-2007, 08:35 PM

the letters, I'd paint them first, then mask em off and paint the rest, i think that would be the easiest way.

installed pics comin soon

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-10-2007, 08:46 PM

can't wait to see those installed pics.

Tough to get a good pic at night, but here goes :)

another for good measure :)

Edit: For reference:

Just have to get the rest of the bay together and i think it'll look very sweet!

yaris emblem not mounted yet, btw, for the pic its too far up. Gonna mount that with some daylight.

thx! :)

I filled in the indentations in the front and rear, and softened the edges all around, with the yaris emblem I think it just finishes it off.

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-11-2007, 01:24 AM

very nice. good job.

lurrrrvely.......

I think red highlights here and there in the engine bay will work nice, along with aluminium intake with red lettering, something like that... then just needs some red lighting
