That would be pretty cool, I see it this way it is either have someone else paint the cover for you and it'll still be part of the car. Or paint it yourself and it'll be part of YOUR car.

Great idea. I have an extra cover I've been wanting to do something with. Can't wait to see it.

Painted Engine Cover

Somewhere on the forum there is a thread 40+ pages long with pictures of people's painted engine covers. Here is a pic of my personal project.

This is EXACTLY what I plan to do, even the same silver color and same area of painting, I'm glad you posted that, now I see my idea will look cool.

I will try this in the near future, for sure.

Thanks.
