quick mod

i don't know if this is the right place to put this but its the only place i really can think of it going.. this is an easy mod that i thought of when i was looking at other peoples cars and saw that their horns were painted. thought it looked cool so decided to do it myself. heres the story on how i did it in case anyone else wants to do it

before pic


taped off the horn to protect against overspray


any type of metal paint for the primer will work i used white cuz the final coat was silver


primed


good old warhammer 40k model paint from back in the day


outer rim painted silver


middle painted black


put some finishing gloss on to make it shiny
original

took the tape off


now time to instal them back on this part is really what took the longest because i had to make one of the wires longer


the original placement of one of the horn used a bigger bolt so i had to go looking around for a smaller one. i found one but it was to long. the one on the right is b4 i ground the bolt down and the one on the left is the final


both sides installed


extended wire


horns installed


final product then angle makes it look sort of funny but if you stand back everything looks all lined up
