Default Engine cover complete..........................

First and for most, let me say I have a renewed respect and admiration for those that have done intricate painting and taping on their engine compartment covers etc. BlueTTop especially, but there are many more of you that have gone through the tedious taping and covering and spraying, my congrats goes out to you all. Mine wasn't too bad until I got to the small last step. If you missed any threads:
Step one: Taped and masked for spraying:

Step one complete:

Step Two:
Masked and mark holes with template:

Step two complete:

Step three, most difficult taping, no pics of that, but here is the final project:

<img src="http://images16.fotki.com/v303/photos/6/645139/3543699/enginecover026-vi.jpg">

Next I would like to sand blast the oil and fluid caps and spray them also. Complete write-up on my Fotki.

Default Looks Sharp!

Lot's of work for something that gets covered up by the hood. ;-) I just haven't had the patience to do something like that, yet.

Good work.

Default Thanks, it was a little work, and not many will actually see it, but............

I love doing different things and it was cheap, total cost about 6 bucks.
