So I will be painting my engine cover. Picking up the high heat paints, white, red, and black. I will also be getting high heat clear coat, and some more plasti dip for my center caps(the back 2 have silver specks cause I ran out of plasti dip), and possibly VHT red caliper paint too because I plan on painting my calipers. The cover will probably come out looking like Ashley's just cause I like it and the way the colors go with my monte. I am not ordering letter covers, I will be doing some expert masking that I learned the trait of when I plasti dipped my Blazer badge when I had it(ha). Scotch brite pads are in the list too I think? Lol. I already cleaned it with Fantastick OxyPower and paper towels.

Here is what i'll be working with(picked it up to day for $10 from a nearby junkyard, they had another one at least(i had to look for them in trunks of monte's myself) if anyone is interested).

 

Good Luck with the project. Mine is getting a paint job too.

 

Thanks man. Hope yours turns out good too.

 

This seems to be a popular mod lately I wish there was a cover for my 3.1L.

Good luck!

 

I need to go get a new anti-freeze container too, that thing is so nasty on the inside, and you can see all the grime from the outside of it too.

 

Got a pic of your plan? Just finished mine just waiting to clear it,

And a quick tip might want to move your Amp power wire to your Bat

 

Why? It's not powering anything.

 

Well nevermind then, not used to some one having it ran with nothing in the trunk

 

i wanna paint mine so badly! but im not the most artistic person lol id make a mess

 

Yeah, I got the car like that. What's the advantage of it being hooked directly up to the battery though?

Update on the project

It looked promising at one point!


Then it all went to **#%%%!!

^that pic is after several hours of trying acetone and sanding to try to fix it. I've got it as smooth as I could get it and I'm going to buy another white can and try to fix this..
