I am not good at this stuff but wanted to see what I could do and got some inspiration from other people on here. I used Krylon Fusion paint.

That came out really well. Does it match the car in real life, as much as it does in the pictures?

Wow, usually will look off in a picture, but that matches perfectly.

Good job :)

I am very supprised with how close the color matches. I just went into walmart and said that looks like my red. I sprayed a little on a white piece of paper and held it up to the car and thought it was close enough.

It's A G8!

Thats looks awsome and it looks like the color is super close! you did an excellent job.

I have been thinking about doing something with my cover to, a buddy of mine bought some carbon fiber sheeting and I'm thinking about putting some of the on it and clear coating the entire thing.

i used that paint on a few of my caps. it's not as durable as I had hoped so be careful or you'll scratch it.

Okay thanks, I was thinking about putting a clear coat over it but I don't know what is compatiable. They make some clear paint as well but it doesn't say if it can be used with the Fusion or not.

Careful...now you'll hear from the "Orange Haters":boxing:

If you find something that matches, please post up. Thanks and good luck.
