I don't have ANY color whatsoever on my stock 3.1L V6 cover, but thinking I might do full black cover and red "3100", you guys did an awesome job.

This is going to be one of my first mods. I am going to paint it black and silver with red outlines on the lettering. I use the paint pens for this. It takes a steady hand and patience.

use engine paint so it can withstand the heat, it shouldn't crack if you do it right and it shouldn't bend when you pull it off the engine so you shouldn't have to worry about cracking
