Has anyone painted there Engine Cover? I would like to know how you did it and with what type of paint. Thanks for any help you can give.

 

You will need: 600 sand paper (wet or dry your choice) Dupilcolor Engine Enamel and Clear Coat( I chose not to clear as the final coat came out pretty ...

that link space posted does give a nice quick finish, but if you REALLY want the cover to look good, check out this link:

it's for a very very show quality cover.

 

someone posted a link maybe a couple days/a week ago to (i think) that same forum, the thread was about photos of people's engine covers that were painted. i looked through all 10 or so pages drooling the whole time. some of them look absolutely in-freakin-credible. i also learned there that they make decals to put over the "3800 series II supercharged" raised lettering (who knew?) in any color you want.

on the same thought process - where to buy an engine cover? anyone? i can't find them anywhere besides the dealership (bah humbug) and my original one got broken and i want to get a new one.

 

I should have mentioned that after you do the painting you go to www.reflectiveconcepts.com and get overlays to make it look really sharp :P

I'm not positive if this is the same one, or will fit but here's a link from a reputable seller

 

how bout that, who's better than you. i checked on ebay the other day and didn't find any. i just bought the trunk cargo net from morad. i just emailed them to make sure it includes the nut/bolt to hold it on, but even if not i think i might buy it. rock on, thanks!!

 

buy 2 they're cheap :P

I'm thinking of getting a 2nd one that I would use for shows only, so it stays clean.

 

Good find man. I really want to paint my cover too.
