I sell the lock cover set. They’re 3D printed in PLA and people are just prepping lightly and spraying

I sell them for £10 which includes recorded postage, and supplies you with 4 boot lock covers and 4 door lock covers.

I just got a rattle can of colour coded paint. Bit of primer, top coat and clear coat. It’s such a small piece so is quite forgiving when painting

I know, I bought them from you

I have no idea how to paint them hence the question.

Rattle spray cans, a few coats of each, plastic primer, colour, clear coat lacquer. Leave 20 mins or so between coats. Then do the same to the front side reflectors in the front bumper

Funnily enough mines prefacelift and I actually wanted these and glued them on

I like the facelift reflectors, I almost did the same after fitting the M bumper but couldn't sand them down fine enough for an acceptable flush fit.

Front bumper side reflectors painted just in case anybody wondered what they looked like. We won’t all have the same preferences but I prefer it.
Oh I blacked out the front fog lights too. Won’t be to all tastes granted.

Fitted. Like them. Sorry Snowdonia has covered the car in grime. Great 3 hour journey to North Wales from the West Midlands today.

Years have passed, my boot lock cover fell out whilst washing the car and I damaged it by standing on it, now the drivers door one has disappeared…. I need some more please. Do you or anybody else still supply these? Thanks.

Looks awesome! Very nice photo. Now that I've seen this done on a few it really makes a big difference!

If everyone is happy, I'm going to round it to £10 for a set printed in PLA. (PLA will be a random colour, since they will ideally need a layer of heavy primer to get rid of the print layer lines anyways, and then painted, colour of the material is irrelevant)

That covers the costs of printing them and includes p&p recorded.

There's 8 in total. 4 x Boot Lock Covers, 4 x Door Lock Covers

For What It's Worth, I'm not making profit, and don't intend to, I'm perfectly happy being able to offer something to the members of this forum

The boot lock is 36mm in diameter, the door lock is 20mm in diameter.
