Making a tutorial for painting the engine cover
I was looking online and noticed that painted engine covers can cost over 300$ witch is bs so this weekend I'm going to paint mine red and I figured if enough of u wanted me to I'd make a good video on everything I do ( it's pretty self explanatory tho) just let me know

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.

Yea plus ur not paying 100 to get it painted or buying a new one for 300 just SOme sand paper primer, paint and clear coat and tape like 20$max and some labor time il make a very detailed clear video for every one when I do it and cause the engine cover donsent get to hot there shouldent be any need for heat resistant paint. Just look for it next week il make it saterday

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. |
