Post by **Shhtuart** » Sun May 01, 2011 3:11 pm

Did you get the engine polished or is that just sprayed silver?

JOA81 · Post by **JOA81** » Sun May 01, 2011 5:35 pm

It's sprayed with heat proof silver

The only thing u may have to worry about is it scratching off if you paint it...

But yeah, if it is painted already, and not scratching, then as long as u prep it properly.. It should be fine.. But yeah, hard for me to say, as I never inspected it in person.. I am assuming the panther is air brushed..
