My main theme is "Pure"...it's mostly all super white with little pink accents here and there.

I love it. I think you've done some great stuff.

A lotta people paint trim pices to match the exterior, but you brought in a new accent color. I did the same with my box with blue.

Some things you should consier:
-Fix the engine cover (I can say that because I messed mine up too )
-paint sum of the silver trim pink. definatly do the waterfall silver trim and if youve got the guts to partially disasemble your sterring wheel, the stiver trim on that too (I opted not to take that apart)

U should paint the trim by spraying, but how did you do the other things by hand? like what paint and techniques? your front emblem is sweet

^Agreed....love the front emblem.

thanks for the comments everybody!

i will fix my engine cover no worries, i didn't think i would get it right the first time anyways...

and yes i painted all my emblems by hand, i just used a very tiny paint brush, and kept rubbing alcohal cotton ball on hand to wipe of any mess ups...just gotta have patience! the wording on the emblems are all indented, so you kind of just fill it in, really easy!

i will think about painting the waterfall...i need more practice though before i go and do that...and the steering wheel area, i started on that area a little with the speedometer spikes and i did the steering wheel emblem, just havn't had time to do anytin else.

THANKS EVERYBODY! great suggestions! keep um coming!

What kind of paint did you use though? For the emblem and all the stuff you did by hand?

sweet thanks for the info but if you do the waterfall, steering wheel trim, and engine cover I recoment not using a brush. I did all my interior paint with spray paint, its so much easyer to get a nice even coat, though I'm not guaranteeing success, i f-ed up my HVAC ***** the 1st time hah. But anyways I cheated and used Krylon fusion for plastics, its spray paint meant for plastic so yeah, see if krylon makes a pink that matches. If not you can always sand, primer, and paint (and clearcoat if your so inclined.).

i had lots of exrtra caliper paint, so i just used that so it would match perfectly. and that is why my engine cover came out that way, cuz i wanted to use a high heat resistant paint yea, so i used that, i knew it wouldn't turn out as good as a spary would, but the color would be so hard to match...
yea if i did the waterfall i would totally use a spray because it would need to turn out perfect, i tested my engine cover since it's hidden...
