Had a go at painting the engine cover

[Andyk1801]

It's not the best job as I did it with rattle cans in my kitchen haha... But it's not too bad!!! Meant to be pearlescent white

Looks decent mate, just needs some colour on the inlets and fuel rail cover now

 

[Andyk1801]

Cheers dude, yea I'm thinking I might do them bright orange!! Lol... Not sure yet quite fancy something a bit crazy!

 

[Andyk1801]

Would I need high temp paint for the inlet manifold and fuel rail?

 

[Ash87]

looks alright, black 2.0 16v stickers and inlets will look good

 

[Andyk1801]

I've actually just bought some standard body paint for it paint for it, a lad on here had posted he had used normal halfords paint and it was ok still after 6 months so I've gone with that... Could only get black red and grey in te high temp stuff... Cheers though... Doing it in the morning so will se how it goes.... If it f***s up al take it to work and shot blast it off and start again...

Ooooh they're nice....

Anyways after sleeping on it I decided against the orange, put my old chavvy self away for another day lol...

Here's the results

Think it looks good personally, just need anger couple of coats on the plastic cover as I re sanded it the make it better and ran out of paint...

Opinions please!

Thanks
