Black Onyx, Smokey Granite, and Matador Red.
Btw, my son designed this paint scheme. He is only 10 years old.
No wonder I immediately saw the Transformer influence..honestly, not being sarcastic.

Question for those with custom painted engine covers. What kinda "prep work" is involved in this? Sanding, primer, etc...? Thanks in advance.

Here is mine. I'm not done with it obviously... But to see what's in store for this check out my build thread
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...acked-out.html
Sanded the center cover for a glossier "sheen" and left the outter covers textured then applied paint to all
