Had a bunch of interior parts painted to get rid of the plastic look.











Smoothed and painted the underside of the hood vent black.



There must be 100 hours into this hood vent! This will give you an idea what we start with. Each vent was slightly enlarged. We removed the 6 studs mounts as we are going to epoxy it onto the hood. Then it was time to smooth it. You just cant skim coat the part as the gray will show through on the to side. So had to build it with high build black primer and sand most of it off. This process was repeated four times before painting it black and cleared. The top side was given three coats of cleared followed by black candy and three more coats of clear. The end results is amazing but most wont know the amount of effort that has gone into just this one piece.



Painted the down bars black on the carbon fiber grille.





Couldn't leave the peddles unpainted.



Could get these powder coated as the rubber would melt, so we painted them to match the powder coating. We might not use them as we are making billet drop spindles and new front control arms.
