Hey matey

I sanded it down really well using water and wet/dry sandpaper (until the silver actually came off and it was all black). I then used plastic primer and engine enamel. Came up awesome!

did you just cover the graphics saying ECOTEC when spraying it?
does the cover serve any real purpose or is it just good to look at?

yeh how did you keep the text on it. Surely just masking it off would make it all jagged on the edges
Want to do this to mine, but I wanna keep the Vauxhall lettering on it.
