Yeah I do most of the stuff to my car myself as well.
Tinted my headlights, paint brake calipers, paint all kinds of crap.
I don't like paying people to do something I can do myself (although I screw everything up and have to do it over...lol)

 

I hear ya, I've been doing this stuff a good while now, so I've screwed things up enough in the past to be mostly past that stage. I can usually get things right or at least close on the first go round these days

 

I like that piece, I might get one for the Limer now, lol.
It will stay black in my case.

Paul, you could do a two tone on yours...
I know you have imagination as far as scheme, so I'm sure you'd make it look good.

 

Two tone....Hmmmmmm

 

I will have that *** one day.. Lol
Your engine bay looks amazing. You've done an amazing job with your car.

 

Thank you

 

I love that! Looks really nice all one piece.

 

Why not?
Like the outside edges (front and sides) be painted red about an inch and a half going in.
It would take enough black out without being all colored.
I must admit that it looks good all black anyway... with the cowl, it encompass the engine bay quite nicely.

 

Well, I have all winter to consider. If I change the color scheme at all, it won't be until Spring. Thanks for the suggestion, has me thinking anyway.
