Thumbs up MistreSS Painted Engine Cover
So here's the finished and installed painted engine cover. I wanted something based off the Corvette Z06 look, so the sides are GM victory red and the center portion and lettering are a charcoal color (to match the cover's original color of the bare plastic). That is all sealed with an 80% gloss clearcoat. The shop did a great job and I am very happy with how it turned out! The red adds a nice contrast to the car. Thanks for looking!

Red works as an awesome accent color on a LOT of cars. That cover looks great. Your "Corvette inspired" scheme is perfect!
