Let me know what you guys think...

Painted my engine cover, taped off the lines, and the center where the hole is, and just painted over the letters, then wet sanded the paint off. The pictures suck.. but you get the idea

Kinda near topic, has anyone ever polished the aluminum piece below the engine cover? Is that the fuel injection body? or exhaust manifold?

Just wondering.

BTW... looks great... good job!
