Painted Engine Cover

joshs09slvrZ · 02-10-2012, 10:31 PM

So I was looking for something fun and easy to do and I figured, why not paint my engine cover? I decided to go with red to match the Stillen stickers that I have on my intakes. Enjoy!!

Before:

All taped up:

After fist coat:

All finished!!

Looks great! Came out nice and smooth. I'm looking into doing my cover as well, nice cheap mod.

Good job, looks great!

Looks pretty good! Did you use high temp paint?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I just used the Krylon Fusion spray can. If it cracks, bubbles, etc...I'll just sand it and respray it.
