Painted the engine cover
Decided to paint my cover..the silver didnt match the black and red under the hood so I changed that.

very nice man!!!
|
Thats a nice job! How did you paint the letters and keep them neat looking?
Is that black or charcoal? |
I like it! Nice job.
|
Looks good, did you paint the TB your self too?
|
yea I painted the valve covers, TB and engine cover myself.
the way i did the cover was..I shot it last night..all the red area with the same 500degree red I used on everything else..let it dry and baked it on by driving around for a while. today I took it and I put vasoline over all the tops of the letters with a qtip..then I shot it all in black and when it dried I wiped the vasoline off...its not perfect but it came out pretty good and 100000x easier then masking with tape the cover is satin black engine enamel |
Yours came very nice!
Another way to paint embossed letters is to use a wine bottle cork and drill a hole for a ¼" paint roller spindle. |
very clean job!! looks like it came that way off the factory line!
|
oh man I like that flat black. I dont really care about the engine area, but I may do this for a quick project. good job
|
Wow, that looks fantastic!
