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

Thats a nice job! How did you paint the letters and keep them neat looking?

Is that black or charcoal?

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.
