Doing the whole cover in Gloss black first, then just highlighting the series 11 in white & v6 in red. White shows the dirt over time and must be cleaned often. Will post photo when done

-Frank.
If I could vote, i'd go with White/Black for sure. Also, i was considering doing the same thing for mine, just curious as to what kind of paint you used?

I wouldn't want to mess mine and be stuck looking at a Picasso.

Guys this thread is pretty old, this cover is long gone in the trash too... lol
Didn't really work well with my Series 2 motor so it rubbed on the hood liner and ruined it. I used high heat engine paint btw

Number 3 hands down.
Has anybody done this two color paint job and had trouble with the paint lifting when you removed the tape that masked the first color.
If not what brand of paint did you use?
Any waiting time between colors?
Thanks
