Painted the enigne cover

Yo,

Check it out. I painted the plastic cover. I was thinking about camo, but it seemed alot more complicated than I could handle. So I painted it my favorite color... blue. I think I did a good job with it. Kotomile helped me with the masking of the letters, so I learned how to do that. I think it looks good as hell.

here is he aftershot.

What you guys think

let it set for about a month, so it fully cures...then polish it up...it should look even better

Not a whole lot. I taped up he VVTI and toyota emblem so they would stay silver. Then I cleaned the whole thing up with some oil, residue remover that my roommate gave me. Then I sanded it down with some 400 grit sandpaper. nothing really rough or to hard, just mainly to scour the surface. Then I wiped it all down again. Then I applied the adehesive promoter that singlecam recommended. Then applied the paint. Did 2 coats of promoter, then 3 of the paint.

Gonna let it sit and make sure it is good. then put it back on.
