Painted engine cover
Well, I decided to see if I could paint.
I realized I don't have patience to mask off things.
My cover was a little worn at one spot from originally putting on my strut brace, but then I was able to get the cover lower where it didn't rub, but it was too late. So the silver part is repainted with a more metallic silver as well.
I decided to go with Sonic Blue with Silver stripes to match my car. Then a few coats of clear.
It came out ok, but if you get a close look there are some flaws, but I'll have to see how noticable they are once on the car.

Well Done!! Only YOU would notice any flaw's. This is exactly how we should mod our rides, Do IT YOURSELF. Congrat's. I know mine has a lot of flaw's, but I did mine by myself, too. No one notice's them, they are simply awed by the unique look we give our cars by doing it yourself.
