I haven't painted mine yet. I've bought the paint three times for the project. First batch got used up when I damaged the underside of my nosepiece in Tahoe, and had to fix it.
Second batch got used up on my CAI build project, and a classic Schwinn bicycle I built to match my car. Third batch is waiting for warmer weather, and THIS time it will go on my engine cover! I sure have bought a lot of Synergy Green paint! And my engine cover is still bare.

My wife works for a collision repair company so they might be doing all my painting?

And just a little piece of friendly advice: When you do take the cover off; remember to put the oil cap right back on. That way 1) You don't lose it. 2) You don't forget that it's there and close the hood on it. *ouch!* 3) Dirt and contaminants don't find their way into the engine through the open filler.

What paints do you use for a V6 engine cover? Is there a thread that kind of gives the steps to doing the DIY for a V6 and if not can I get a quick overview on exactly how it goes?
