Need some opinions for painted engine cover
 

So I have been filler priming my engine cover now for about 3 days and I am sanding it down right now. Tomorrow I plan on doing some painting if it's nice out. But I need some ideas and opinions. I have the 2006 monte SSAttachment 32897


I was planning on doing something similar to this, except where it is black, I was going to do white and under where it says DOD where the raised lines are I was also going to do white. And then where the black is in the upper leftish where those 2 lines are, I was going to have those be red. and the only other thing I thought of was was on the upper portion on the left and right, you may be able to see those 8 slants on either on either side, I thought about doing those in white as well to make them pop a little more. Anyway, that was my idea. But I'm up for any opinions, if you guys think something else would look good. My car is victory red and I plan on painting my ground effects in white, which is why I went with this color scheme. But like I said, I'm up for any of you're opinions and ideas, Thanks guys.

I really like it like the photo you posted. Wont white be hard to keep looking good?

I am assuming your car is victory red?

Yea it is victory red, and I was going to go with white since I plan on eventually having my ground effects painted white, thought it might look good if it matched. And I didn't even think about it not staying clean. That's a good point.

Here's one I painted for a member on here, might give u a few ideas

Question for you, how did you go about sanding in between all of the letters and what not? Everything else is pretty easy to get but the letters look impossible haha

I just folded sand paper and got inbetween em the best I could lol

It looks like it's going to be a pain haha

Lol it will be

Took a while. But I think I got it pretty well sanded down and ready to go. Can't wait to get some paint on it tomorrow.

I have a question for you 03JGMonte, on the numbers and letters, did you just tape off around them really good and spray them, or did you use a brush?
