It's hard paint that cracks and chips, reign. Softer paints are more forgiving, as rather than chipping and a big chunk falling off, it will just have a tiny indent that is generally not very visible.
Now, I'm gonna read this thread backwards.

nah, I'm reading it like a Quentin Tarantino film. The end, then what leads up to it. I get both instant gratification from seeing the near-end result, and I can appreciate the long treacherous road to get there.
Lookin' good Jake, the polish work is hot, and that is some pita, dirty work. Mark does a nice job!
Yeah Kwik, I cant give Mark enough credit for the work he did... Its amazing, looks 100 times better in person!
I know I bought his FFI so I got to see first hand, though I had to redo it myself cuz DHL did a number on it.

Go to an automotive paint store and buy a quart of single stage paint with the hardener to match your paint code, then go to Harbor Freight and buy a touch up gun. Mask off the bay, practice a little with the touch up gun to get your pattern small and tight and you'll end up with what you're looking for.Reign_Maker said:

The way that you cure the paint on your engine so that it last is to heat cycle it. When you initially start the car you will start to smell paint, when you do, turn it off and let it cool. Repeat until you no longer smell paint, could take 10-15 start ups, seriously. If you keep running it when it smells, you will burn the paint and it will flake off sooner than later.Reign_Maker said:Thanks, Im pretty good at what I do...
Its not PC... Its just paint... Im hoping after a few heat cycles it'll harden up... Or if anyone knows, is there a spray that I can put on it to make it hard so it wont chip? ...
This is an amazing product to use on any parts that you want to look like raw aluminum, it contains actual aluminum shavings suspended in a paint. Once it cures, it last pretty much forever up to 1200 degrees. I painted my entire catback, downpipe, exhaust manifold heat shields, etc. It probably won't work on the exhaust manifold or hot side of turbo though. It goes on with a brush, so it can be touched up very easily, never has needed it on mine.
You can also get it in darker gray.

Man I can't wait for you guys to make it down, the TX Meets are such a blast. Last year, we had a poolside BBQ planned for Friday night at the host hotel. About 3 in the afternoon we were all getting pretty drunk in the parking lot, just hanging out, we met some other MKIII owners from Dallas. "Hey dude, you sober enough to drive?", they said yeah. "Cool, take us to the grocery store", Laughing our asses off throughout the grocery store, spent about $300 on more beer and meat, about 50-60 showed up poolside and partied..................and that was just the first day there. It's non stop fun for sure!
Plan your vacations now, mid March, exact dates coming soon!
