What do you guys think about my engine cover paint job? It’s a silver textured paint with clear coat.

I did think about it. I left the silver and grey decals on the truck and I have a silver Spartan helmet on the back glass so I thought silver might pop in the engine bay too.

Cool beans. Was seeing if you used a heat-resistant paint or not. Looks great though

Yea you gotta use heat resistant paint. Also, a plastic primer to make it bond.

Guess I’m a boy racer. I just like personalizing my Taco. I can’t afford thousand dollar mods but I can throw down on some paint cans LOL.

I’ll post an update in a few months. I took the cover back off - I’ve read the clear coat needs to fully cure in 24/48 hours to withstand the heat.
