    Talking A few new Mods Worthy of the HAZMAN!

    Just painted a few new things under the hood...I hope they are worthy of our Master of the Blue- HAZMAN!
    I pianted the cover over the steering fluid tank, the Aux battery terminal cover which was red, and the hydraulic hood struts. I think I will be doing a couple of more things like the removable cover over the air filter to balance out the steering fuid cover and maybe the two front radiator covers that I originally painted grey metallic. Also, the rear hatch struts will get a coat or three of blue! I don't want to go overboard though, so opinions are welcome!





    Hope you like it!
    Take care,
    Christopher

    Looks Good!!! I've thought about shooting the hood struts myself. Glad to see how it came out.

    Thanks guys! Glad you like it. Especially you Haz...
    On the plastic parts, I used an automotive plastic primer first, then the blue and then an acrylic gloss at the end. I got everything from Autozone.
    For the struts, I sanded them first and then a few coats of self etching primer. The blue is actually Ford blue, engine paint. I figure it should hold up well on the metal stuff, but we shall see on the plastic parts.
    I can check for the specific paint brand if you want, just let me know.

    Take care,
    Christopher

    Very cool Haz! I see you did the bottom and top clips on the struts. I like it with the bottom clips too...it adds a little something extra.
    Take care,
    Christopher

    Then don't. We all have different tastes when it comes to mods on our rides and that is what keeps this forum alive.
