I don't know this stainless steel flake. Neat stuff - cool effect. Doesn't really look stainless, but definately metallic. I like

takes about a 30 seconds to take it off. Just lift it off from right to left

Default Engine cover update

Here is the first coat of paint and no its not done. Still have out lining to do and im not sure if im going to paint the lines on the top of cover. Any thoughts?
And if anyone is wondering i am using the duplicolor scratch repair markers with the new roller tip. Im brushing the main section and going to out line with the roller. Well see how it works lol.

So, i decided to leave it the way it was. didnt want to over do it. I might go get a few from the junk yard and start painting them, see what kind of cool designs i can come up with. Also did a little clean up to the engine bay, painted and damn was there alot of grime under there! first owner didnt take care of it!
