Before you proceed further, I'd recommend an adhesion promoter like bulldog or SEM. Paint on bare plastic usually doesn't hold up very long without it.

I recall now you did once. Ahh well the paint looks awesome. Now for powdercoating. And plating. And anodizing.

Looks great! Hope it holds up.

Im planning to some bling to my GT motor as well. The Cam covers and intake has lots of cracked paint. Needs sorting. Might do the filler neck and some other stuff while Im at it.
