Painted Engine Cover Thread (merged threads)

Just finished up my engine covers! I had my local auto paint supplier mix me up some 077 SFP into spray cans. I used a Valspar high build primer, sanded it down, applied the SFP base coolor sanded that down as well with 2000 grit. The pearl coat matches impeccably, although hard to capture in a photo. I used many thick, wet coats of clear to help fill in the texture that remained, wet sanded with 2000 grit before applying a final coat of clear and the black accents. Finished her up with a plish and I couldn't be happier with the result, especially being my first painting experience.

That looks really good! love the white with matte black.
I painted mine with rose gold plasti dip for wheels, I added a little metallic and some pearl while drying. It should be able to return to stock when I decided.
Also found a Lexus Original CF cover on eBay with some slight scratches for cheap.

First off, your 10 yo boy has a GREAT eye. He's a natural design-guy in the making!
Second, who did the work on your cover? I'm in SoCal (and I see you're in NorCal) and I'm in search of a person/company that is willing/able to paint my cover(s) w/ precision and care. ...and it looks like your finished product is just that.
Cheers,
