    Is it metal or plastic? My was plastic on my S4 and I prepped it my using brake clean to get most of the oil off then I used simple green and a scrub brush cleaned it then rinsed it 5 times then I wiped it down with alcohol 3 times then I used VHT red wrinkle paint . I painted vertically, horizontally and then diagonally waiting 10 mins in between.. after that I took a heat gun and and heated the paint evenly.. the results came out amazingly ! And I’m not that great of a painter lol IMG_4780.jpgIMG_4784.jpgIMG_4785.jpg
