Engine engine cover painted>

clean it, mask it, then paint it, detail it, then put a clear coat over it

Sounds like a project im going to be starting tomorrow... clean it.. spray a hi temp silver coat.... then wait a while.. mask off the letters.. and spray them red.... afterwards I will let it sive for a while...

do they make hi temp clear coat? after a couple days to harden I will put back.. hopefully it looks good... I cant wait.. my second mod!!!

engine cover painted>

I'm thinking of removing my stock engine cover and having it painted professionally.. just wondering if anyone else on the boards has done this...

any words of wisdom?

It's easy enough for most people to do themselves at home. Clean it very well, use high temp engine paint or plastic paint.

hehehe...there you go Statik just said it............

yeah i dont know if they have high temp clear coat. a few coats of just the color should be fine.

i didnt use it on mine, I cleaned the cover, spread a tacky coat on it so the paint will adhere, did a primer, I did it the color of my car (silver), then i masked everything but the letters and did them with the new krylon or something plastic paint, then did 2 clear coats....actually i did it the first time and meesed up and had my dad do it the second time, pays off when your dad used to be an old time mechanic haha

here is a link to the "show me" page... I dont have the skills to mask off the letters and paint them so silver will have to do...
