Default Painting mirrors, plenum cover...Done with pics

I'll finally get a chance to paint my mirrors tomorrow. I'm also going to paint my plenum cover and maybe my cam covers. My original plan was to do some airbrushing on the engine parts but I'm just going to body match them for a clean look better. I'll try to post up some pics when I finish it.

Next body and paint mod will be antenna, spoiler and possibly w/s squirter delete. I might just paint my squirters tomorrow until then.

What kind of paint you using? Just make sure you use a cleaner designed for plastics after you scuff, then use a plastic adhesion promoter.

Make sure you do a sprayout with your paint to make sure you have a good match, Ford is famous for using multiple alternative shades. W/V had 4.

Painting as I type. Prepping the cam covers was a s.o.b. with all those little nooks and crannys. It's looking good. I meant to bring my camera so I could take pics during the process but I forgot. I keep a cheap camera in my box maybe I'll do that. Either way I'll post the finished pics.
