Painting Engine Cover

Post by Daniel2019 »

Painted my engine cover this arvo ( will post pics up soon ;) ) I used engine enamel, how long should I wait before I can put it back in and drive it without mucking up the paint? Also, is the car ok to drive without the cover?

The pictures were taken at night under like 3 sets of lights, it looks a little more toned down in the day time. Will post daytime pics when I get some :mrgreen:

yeah, uhhh. WOW.

Me and Braydon took my cover off last night and cleaned it and then blackened it. Nice and new looking now. Still deciding on how I am going to design my engine bay...

Hmm I dont see how its bright as everyones saying.
Whats wrong with abit of colour? I reckon it looks mad dude.
Im thinking of paining mine black and yellow.
I'll probably change my mind when it comes closer to the date of the actual painting looool.
Shoulda showed me that day, woulda been good to see.
