Iceberg Silver Engine Cover.



  SLK 350
Anybody got any pictures of one painted and lacquered?

Im currently doing mine. Just primed it, but am wondering if im going to need some high-temperature paint/lacquer. Just using standard cans of car paint upto now.

Pics appreciated, cheers.

normal paint is fine, as the cover doesnt really get hot. i have some pics of a cool one i'm currently doing, but i'll let them post pics when they recieve it ;)

i'll do it for you for a good price ;) currently doing a couple, will be pics on the forum of em soon. Can do any colour really, and can do differennt sections in diff colours.
 
thanks peeps for the comments - tempted to get my engine cover painted a more dramatic colour but spending is getting a bit silly at the moment!
 
not loads - engine cover was about £70 painted, strut top covers approx £20, bailey tank £115, bettery cover £15, air filter was £200 approx, polishing £60 plus approx £20 for sand paper etc. blue pipes £20,
 
yeah thats my other option - I like having the original stickers there though and paying £70 for it to be painted silver in the first place would be a bit of a waste if i get it done again

you know i'd be more than happy to oblige :D, i charge a lot less than 70 quid too ;) another option is sell the silver and get a spare and have that done. I have to say, i do love you engine bay though :) also have the stickers to replace the 2.0 ones

that engine bay is very nice!
Where do the Blue pipe bits come from???? are they replacements or just cover type things?
