DeathBuzzz, how did you paint the bowtie on the underhood cover?? I did mine the other day but it didnt turn out like I wanted. I had planned on taking the whole hood off, taping off the bowtie then spray painting it but no one was around to help me take the hood off. Then I was going to do the same thing with the hood on the car and just covering everything up. Well that was taking too long. I ended up just using a small paint brush and doing it that way. Is that how you did yours??<hr></blockquote>
First off, you should take off the dampener. It is attached with those little black plastic thingys ( technical term ). They pull right off and if you break one any hardware store sells them for like 50 cents.
I tried spray painting it, but the paint just soaked into the fiber of the thing. I bought some model paint and it didnt come out too great, so I went and got some CHEAP craft paint. Its just really thick yellow paint. I did a couple layers and it came out. I taped off the bow tie and went at it. Mine still isnt perfect, I need to touch up the left side, but I havent gotten more paint yet.
