Has anyone painted their engine cover?

Gonna drop these pictures off here if you don't mind Ecosnake, and if anyone else wants to post something up it'd be appreciated

I don't mind. It's really easy to do. Few layers of automotive spray paint. Couple layers of clear coat.

Looks really good, nice work!

Thanks, took a gamble with the amazon green. It's a shade or two lighter than the guard. But it's also metallic and I added a metallic clear coat. It blends just enough to notice but not stand out.

Here is my cover. Picture quality isn't the best, but it'll work. I'm probly gonna take it off again when I do the rest of what I'm going to do, once I got it outside in some good light I notice a couple imperfections. So im going to sand those areas a little and touch them up. The match turned out really good to my Comp Orange I think. Let me kow what you think, good and bad, I'm a big boy...LOL!!! :cheers:

Liking it! I'm going to try my hand at this once its gets warm enough to paint outside, I'm going attempt to do some type of 2 tone job. we'll see how that goes. Probably late april/may

It's all about the prep work man. Lotsa people aren't willing to do the prep and just wing it to get it done. Do it right, it'll look good!!!

that looks nice, what paints did you go with? i was thinking of using some rustoleum silver metallic to go with a stainless steel/alum CAI.

Anaodized metallic blue, high temp with clear coat. VHT paint.

On mine the silver is a basecoat for the duplicolor anodized paint. The green is a Chrysler color ,the lid/cap matched the guard better than what came out of the can . I can give you p/n if you like .

S550SVO, that cover looks great! How long did it take to complete and was it all done by rattle can? Would it be possible to post more, closer pictures of your cover?

These looks great. Does this require a special type of heat resistant paint?

I have a couple of cans of Ford engine blue to do mine with.

 

[S550SVO]

Surtur- I'll get you the p/n

6g smoke show - I'll take another pic tomorrow. Yes it was all done with rattle can. It took me about a day (Actually 2 evenings after work) if I had done it on the weekend I would have been done in 1 day easy .

These look really good. On my Black, thinking red with black racing strips. Also like the fuse box in red.
