Paint shop did it. Took all the weather stripping off, deck lid and did it the right way.

Your Engine bay looks awesome! Did they have to treat the plastic with something before they painted it for adhesion? Would you mind letting me know a ball park figure of what it cost you do have the engine bay painted? Thx

They had to take the back hatch off, removal all the weather stripping and screws, prep the plastic and tape off everything. It was a two day job, cost 1000.00 but i think it was worth it.
