I was wondering when someone else would give it a go.

Looks really good, the 3.8 just pops!

Did you just wipe away the overspray after each coat or wait for it to all dry then peel away the excess?

Looks great

I thought for sure it would end up looking like a cluster--it looks good! Damn I'm impressed.

Very nice. The confidence factor is growing that it can be successfully done.
Should have seen the wife's face when I said I'm gonna spray plastic paint on a $150k car!!!

Hi all, I had searched for exactly this thread as I also would like to paint the 3.8 on my wing supports. I don't have the facility to do any painting where I park so I investigated getting the logo plates off. Turns out it is dead simple. Open the engine lid, there are 2 large air passages, 1 on each side. If you look up the passage, you can see the back of the plate. Turns out they are attached only by a thin piece of double sided tape. With a little force on the aft corner, push from inside. I have mine off now, it took me about 5 minutes.
