    In this video, my little brother and I paint his engine cover a burnt copper. In the light, the metallic flake looks unreal in person.
    Products Used 🛠
    Plastic Primer ▶︎ amzn.to/2cR6uyo
    Plastic Paint ▶︎ amzn.to/2cVu2pf
    Plastic Clear Coat ▶︎ amzn.to/2csXrRv
    The order in which you paint the cover is like this;
    Sand, Clean, Mask, Clean, Primer, Base Coat, Clear Coat, Enjoy
    You can go with any colour you like, whether it be red, blue, white, or pink. As long as you use a plastic primer, and plastic paint, and then a plastic clear coat, you will be in the clear.
    If you have any questions regarding the video, you know what to do. Thanks for watching!! :)

    I like how you emphasize prepping. It is a major key in what you are trying to accomplish. Great vid .

      It's so true, painting it pretty hard to screw up if you prep properly

  • @skonyc3164

    one other important tip is to always check the paints humidity numbers. it's very important. you don't want to paint when humidity is to high or if it's to cold. I won't paint if the humidity is over 50% and if it's below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. easy way to remember this is just remember 50/50.

    You should use a plastic adhesion promoter underneath the primer. It will help the paint stick incredibly well.

    Came out looking good, dude. I personally would of let the paint cure for longer before applying the clear coat, and then would of waited like 12 before touching it with my hands to avoid finger prints. But that's just the way I learned. Good work, Milan!

    I would mask the emblems before you start sanding and while youre sanding if you mess up the tape by scuffing it up with the sand paper just remask, because when he was demasking his emblems u can see where he scratched them with the sandpaper

      Pretty much! If you have matte white paint, you'd use that. Otherwise, if you have regular white paint, you can follow it up with matte clear coat to get the colour and finish you're looking for
