Not bad, but I think it would look a bit better if you painted i-Vtec in a color that would stand out against the red like white or silver.

I had a bottle of paint that was supposed to be used to paint over any flaws in these red signs we got at work but they were fine so I asked for the bottle. It just says "PAINT touch-up kit" and in the details it says its an automotive paint. No details on the paint code. It says I/D/E/A inc. Caldwell ID on the bottle. Its thicker than the OEM touch up paint I used to fix a chip on the inside of my wheel well.

ok i found their website Welcome to I/D/E/A, Inc. but it looks like you have to order in large lots.

I'd just look for a red automotive touch up paint... it seems to be holding up well still with engine temps and everything in the hot Texas summer.

And thanks for the comments! I'm glad you guys like it. I was going for a subtle, almost stock, look.
