Unfortunately it may be overspray, the camera sometimes will pick up things you cannot see with your eye, especially when you use a flash.

Oh OK. As long as my eye can't see it then it must be OK.

I hear ya on that one. It was kind of bland. This one is definitely more unique.

STW Graphics. Ask for Steve, I believe he is a sponsor as well.

My latest updates on mine. Pinstriped the air intake box and diffuser on tube, Positive post chrome cover.

Nice touch! I like the contrast of the yellow pinstripes

Midlife-crisis · 03-12-2010, 10:21 AM

Did you clear coat the black or did you leave it original?

wer2foxs · 03-12-2010, 11:25 AM

I clear coated the black on the engine cover but not on the intake box. Didn't want all of it to be glossy but really like how it brings out the black on the engine cover.

Midlife-crisis · 03-12-2010, 12:07 PM

So you sanded and preped it like the rest of the cover.
It looks awesome.

No, I did not sand the black before putting on the clear coat. If you sand it even lightly it will show every sand mark on it. Just clean the black portion and a light coat of clear. Different story if you prime and paint. You would lightly sand it. I wet sanded in between coats of primer and paint (on the painted portions).
