Just wondering how you guys masked off the idi cover if you were painting the ridges that go up and down different colors. I don't feel like cutting masking tape into skinny pieces and spending 10 hours on it...
z24 aint afraid of no ecotec
I think they paint the whole thing, then just sand the ridges.
My Car
I taped.
See profile for example.
I didn'tdo the ribs, but I did do the letters.
i painted the whole thing and then sanded down the ridges with a dremel

heres a pic...camera phone but u get the idea
YOU CAN ALSO USE PINSRIPING FROM AUTO PARTS STORES TO TAPE OFF....THEY HAVE EM IN VARY WIDTHS....MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN IT REAL GOOD AND SAND REAL GOOD B4 YOU PAINT
Not unintentionally accelerating since 2009!!!!
I first sanded down the ridges and the letter etc. polished it. Then what i did was paint it with high temp engine enamel, couple coats of that and then let it dry use a very sharp razor blade and carfully cut off the tops of the ridges and clear coat the whole thing......DONE lol turns out very nice IMO.
hope this helps
I actually just got a decal kit from ebay, i cant find them on there anymore i dont think, probably not the cheapest way, but i stuck it in the z24, then painted the whole car, and just took those off haha. I like it being the blue the car used to be,
