Finished my engine cover finally
Trying to get it done for our So Cal Camaro 5 fest but as everyone saw I didn't get it finished in time. After a week and some patience here is the final product. Not perfect but my first attempt and all with rattle can so it will be redone down the road with a spray gun after I finally buy one. Here is the rough product though from start to complete (missing a few pics in between).
Again this is all rattle can and my first real attempt at painting so be forgiving on feedback because as I quickly learned that the best lesson is diving in head first and from there correcting your wrongs...glad I decided to save the money and DIY. Enjoy my fellow family!!

Need any hints I can give you my suggestions and my DON"Ts from the perspective of an amature rather than expert opinion which is to say as someone who can give you "real world" experience I suppose

Too many I actually had a little screw up when painting the black sections because I didn't let the paint cure properly before trying to apply more coats the next day and it rippled on me so I had to primer, sand, primer, sand and redo it all over again.
I ended up doing 4-5 coats of clear just because the heat under the hood I wanted to make sure wasn't going to penetrate to the paint. For my first attempt at painting it turned out pretty good I'm just not patient enough to do painting!
