Just painted my engine cover last weekend. It took me about 2 hours and cost me a whopping $14 . any comments welcome[attachment=571][attachment=573][attachment=574][attachment=575]

That came out good dude!

Very nice job!

looks good nice job

I agree -- looks SAweet!!!

nice job. well worth the time

That looks great!

well like everyone else said. that looks real good man. kinda reminds me of the Mopar orange...

thanks all. the color was red pepper or safety red

That came out really smooth for spray paint! Great job!

I should paint mine as well, but my bay stays SOOOO dirty.

Every time I see pics like the ones that started this thread I get the urge to paint mine, because the pics look so good... Then I try to decide what color to paint the covers in in Vanilla's engine bay and realize that black and white IS the color scheme I've chosen for the entire car. Duh.



Oh, well, I still like it when others do it!

wow dude your engine bay looks clean, how do you keep it clean? what do use...

I use a low to medium pressure sprayer with mild detergent and a a sprayable no-spot wax. Engine compartment gets cleaned every other car wash. (Vanilla was just over three years old when the pic was taken.)

paint it white and the letters and logo black. Then do the same with some filler caps and intake cover and fuse cover
