I painted it on afterwords.  Couldn't find any paint-on high temp paint, so I just sprayed some white engine paint into a cup and used a foam brush to put it on.

What paint did ya'll use?

"Engine Paint?"

"Krylon Fusion?"

Generic Paint?

I am planning to paint mine in one of several ways:
Scottish Flag
Pirate Flag
Tartan (not sure HOW to mask to make the complex pattern)

Quick isn't the same as fast . . .
Fast is just acceleration and top speed.
Quick is maintaining that speed in a corner, better than just fast.

For the plastic pieces, you don't need engine paint, so the Fusion paint will work well. You can use normal paint if you know how to prep it right.

Do the flag and show some love!

I should paint mine the Japanese flag that would be easy and sick.

I also thought about getting a guy to paint some kanji on my gas cover cap and liftback handle. Like a yellow basecoast with red lettering then paint the doorhandles the same color to match...

One idea . . .
Scottish flag with the Japanese sun in the center (at the cross of the white).
To look right, it would NEED to have a white border around the red disk.
