Default Finished my engine cover today

I decided it was time to paint my engine cover. I have a show over labor day I will be entering and figured it would be a nice addition. So I got some paint and had a local paint supplier shop mix me some Precision Red paint in a spray can so everything matched up and looked good. I will have to get more pictures out in the sun here soon...most are garage pics.

This is how it looked before. All black and kinda boring.


primer - ignore the text on the second picture. I was trying to make a friend freak out when it was all grey haha



taped off the middle and painted it gloss black
