Thumbs up My new $10 mod.......

Well folks for about $10 I bought myself some High temp Engine paint and a can of clear coat. Took off some engine covers and got started.... Here was the outcome......if anyone wants a DIY let me know.
By the way It is recommended highly that you sand them all down first using a fine sand paper. Unless your looking for a textured surface.

Looks good.
You would need to clean it often to keep the white clean.

I'm split whether or not I like it, but hey, you did a well planned and great job, and it looks good. Instead of chromed-out, you can say I did a blizzard on my engine bay.....

Future...

Where did you ever get the idea of painting your engine covers?

It looks insanely clean and well done. This is not bad for the engine? And how "high temp" is the paint? Looks really nice.

Be careful about the Rice Police coming by though.

Default good thing

One thing I like about all of this, is that if you wait long enough someone here will do something that you have been thinking about for some time.
THank you for posting the pics.

Future, I guess you fixed it up... Looks really good, I figured when I opened the thread I was going to see something terrible. But hey you did it and did it right. I hope it looks the same upclose...
