Challenger Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Anyone repainted their hood vents? What paint and how did it turn out? Do you need plastic primer or any of that sort? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgary280ZT Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Sprayed it with black plastic paint last fall, looked great for a couple of months. Now the paint is peeling off. Screw it, just gonna get MSA vents and replace the stock ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thanks, luckily I didnt use plastic paint... I went ahead and wetsanded them and painted them with a hammered black paint. Turned out great Ill get some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeatrpi Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I did mine with krylon fusion. It doesn't peel but seems to fade in the sun after about a year. I'll be stripping them and painting with real automotive paint eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgary280ZT Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 i confess I didn't put much effort into the prep. I like these vents http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/7BSA03/30-7090 so gonna install them asap and get rid of the stockers. We'll see how the new ones look in Rustoleum...:0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Both of the vents MSA sells look sweet but they are spendy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgary280ZT Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 True, but I'm so far into it now I may as well keep spending my kids' inheritance. In the best of all possible worlds, as I take my last breath the cheque for a bigger turbo or wider tires will bounce.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
