Default Engine cover

Thought i would add some pics of my engine cover on here in the works. Just finished first set of paint for now.
Started with a grey filler primer to smooth it out, painted it silver then added a few coats of stainless steel flake to it. I like this stuff because before you clear it you can brush off the flakes and or add more. I like it so far going to hand paint the raised lettering soon. just not sure of a color yet.

Looking good so far! I recommend the overlays from Reflective Concepts. I got a set for my engine cover and they fit perfect!

Should look awesome once you pick a color for the words/lines

That paint looks great. I agree with painting the letters red or getting the overlays. It will look fantastic Post pics when it's installed!
