After the meet on June 1st, I loved how BlackShadow's engine cover was painted blue. I decided to go with red to match the wires from the intake. They match perfectly in person, the pics make them look a little orange. Let me know what you think, I hope these links work.

 

It came out pretty good. Can't wait to see it in person at the next meet.

BTW, I am assuming you are talking about my painted engine cover.

 

haha, yeah, I thought that I typed your screenname there but I guess it was all in my head. It's been a long week at work! I'm not totally done with it yet, still have a few more clear coats to get the shine.

 

I like this shot!

 

Looks good!

 

you shouldn't of painted the bolts... but it still looks good. how come you didnt paint that other piece right below?

 

the bolts aren't actually painted, I have tape over them that have the red paint on them and the cover isn't bolted on yet. I still have to get a few more coats of clear primer to get the glossy look.

 

ooo...so u painted it while it was on the car???

 

You should of taken it off before painting... It would of made it 100 times easier...

 

NO NO NO!

I just put the cover on the car to take pics. YES, i took the cover off to paint it. Sweet jesus up in heaven!

 

Good job Goldendragon!

 

lol... sorry... i was just womndering, since you covered up the bolts. when i painted mine i just removed the bolts and dint have to worry about painting them.

 

I put the screws in with tape because I didn't want to get paint in the holes. I know it wouldn't have done anything but wasn't sure if getting paint in the screw holes would effect anything.
str8acura, do you have a pic of your cover? What color did you paint yours?

 

nah i dont have a pic. im gonna be repainting it some time this coming week because now it doesnt match the color of my car. im gonna paint it satin silver metallic.

 

looks nice

 

SSM--Great choice, though your red looks good too, Goldend!

 

I am going to paint the bottom cover along with the 3 smaller pieces SSM. I was thinking red but I think that might be too much.
