My 45 dollar FRC's!

Ok so heres the story:
Ive had my z28 since november, and ive been adding little things here and there to spice up the engine bay. It needed something that would really help it stand out and I thought FRC's were great but I didnt want to drop $200 plus on a nice painted set. I came across this set on ebay and figured I could at least take a shot at cutting them up: Ebay Auction So theres $35.60 I first tried to get a template from some meberes here but was turned down since they suspected i might just be trying to resell them instead of using them for their intended purpose. So no templates, I was on my own. Lets just say the first time through didnt go so well. Attachment 156995 In my opinion i cut off way too much. After considering my options i decided to try to repair them with this stuff called "QuickPlastik" i found at Home depot that i was going to use to fill the letters. QuickPlastic (2 packs) about $5.00 I figured it was worth a try and despite not having much experience with this kind of work it turned out pretty well. Here they are in progress. You can see both where I repaired and rebuilt part of the cover. Attachment 156996 Primered: Attachment 156997 I had everything I needed to spray the covers except the actual silver color. I picked up a can of Duplicolor DSGM340 from autozone. Paint < $5.00 The 5 ounce can was enough to coat each cover nicely. I allready had the clearcoat and polish. They could still use a bit more buffing. Attachment 156998 That pic doesnt show the back of the passanger side cover too well but I was able to rebuild it quite nicely and it covers much more than in the original picture. I'm very happy with the final product given the price. new pictures: Attachment 156999 Attachment 157000 Attachment 157001 |
