looks good, and FYI, it's DIY, not DYI

so you "do it yourself", not "do yourself it"

OH EM GEES! DO YOURSELF IT!!! NOOOOO!!!!

Haha, anyways.

Did you just paint over the letters and then sand it down before the clear coat?

Also, I don't know if it's bad or not, but I taped over where the gromets go and where the spark plug wires connect in, you don't want paint flaking off into places you don't want it...

Me? No, I did that last week. It's on my car, and you can't see the silver where the grommets, oil cap, or spark plug wires are anyways. Only the letters are silver.


His picture doesn't look very sunny, it looks like he's in a garage or something. Haha.
