Looks good. I plan to do this except pearl white to match the exterior of the car.....The only thing I have thought would be a problem is the engine temperatures cause the paid to fade/peel....

thank you. someone asked me y i wasnt doing white. it just that i didnt want to have to clean grease off of white. i already have to maintain a white car. I was thinking the same thing about the temp issue. but is still did it hoping it doesnt become an issue.

ive had great luck with duplicolor engine enamel paint.

no peeling, cracking, and they are extremely strong to weather too.
