Removal of blockoff plate...

Astrosfan · 09-23-2011, 03:14 PM

i was planning on plasti-dippin my fangs this weekend and was curious as to how to remove the block off plates? I was thinking it would be easier to tape off that way......

Im new to taping off this kind of stuff and am kinda worried about overspray on the black plastic. any advice?

thanks!

block off plates...

you mean the small plastic faux vents? i think if you remove either the top plastic radiator cover or the lower cover you can maybe reach the nuts. might want to check out the DIY section (modshack intake tube) and get a better look at where the nuts are....or service manual

thats what i meant. I was hoping they would be easier than that to take off. damn!

Just nervous about doing a bad tape job before spraying the fangs...

if you're plasti dipping though, you may not need to mask that faux vent and be able to just peel that section off.
