Painted Engine cover

I was bored last weekend and decided to paint my engine cover.
i think it came out pretty good. I just have to touch up the top part of the I-vtec sticker. Ill just use a very fine brush and some black paint. or hit it with a black sharpie.

Or 7G Accord coupe, but yeah.

Nice initiative. Here's a shot of mine from when I did my manifold cover and sparkplug cover. 6 months later, still looks great.

Edit: I also painted my dipstick black. Looks JDM, but is actually functional in our engine!

I painted mine blue. Sanded it first, then painted with a gray primer. Then used blue Xmetals paint by Krylon.
