painted my engine covers

The paint came out good, I just dont know if I like that color. But its good enough for me, right now at least. I was going to do red, but im not a big fan of it, and other people have theirs painted red.
I took em real quick, sorry for the blurriness.

Looks real nice, I got all my pieces off and primed and ready to paint, did you remove the emblems, or just tape over them?

Painted over them. then just sanded the lettering down and used a brush to paint, taping it off was way too hard since they are so small. And the A emblem, i broke the 2 posts holding it in cause there was a metal thing holding it on, and to take the A off I had to pop off the metal crap, but since the posts were plastic, they broke. Its not meant to come off. I just used some gorilla glue to put it back on. Its all good.
Didnt like the hummm from the CAI, very annoying.

Leave it black, it'll help the motor stand out better, it contrasts nice on the black
