Title: I'm planning on painting my windscreen and doing for others (UPDATE!!!)
Post by: annguyen1981 on June 22, 2006, 05:37:09 PM
I've got the '04f BLUE, so I wanna get mine painted the anodised (sp???) blue...  Basically, almost mirror blue.

If anyone wants one, let me know...  I'm pretty good at stuff like this.  I'm thinking $50 shipped in the US.  If I get enough requests, I'm gonna definitely do mine and take pictures.

I know it's gonna be hard, cause the metallic paint I want is for metals only, but I found a primer designed for plastic.  I think it'll work

And I think the items on Ebay are the double-bubble...  I'm not too fond of those.

this seems like a good way to destroy you resale value with no real benefits

Alsa Corp now has spray cans of colored chrome and clear candies which would make a cool effect. $30 a can I believe. Its on their website I just got the customer mailing today. Check them out might be an option  (http://www.alsacorp.com)

I just called Tapeworks.com

It's $15 per foot...  14" wide...  Too much $$$

Spray paint it is.
