Painted Engine Cover; yes another one.

Thanks to Joe B. sending me his to be my spare.
I could not find a silver color in Krylon Fusion so I used a Rust-oleum.


Taped it off with some blue masking tape. Kinda shitty job but I think its ok. Besides you can't tell by looking at the pics.


2 coats of silver here. Letting sit for 30 mins between. Would have waited longer but will be leaving in the morning and it was looking like rain.

Here it is after 4 coats of silver.



I have some Clear coat, but want to let the paint dry atleast 24 hrs before I spray it. However I am leaving in the morning for a couple of weeks. We'll see when I get home. Enjoy.

 

That must be the best painted engine cover I have ever seen. Good job..

 

Looks good

 

Sweet! Will regular spray paint work, or is the heat to high in the engine compartment?

Much appreciated but i doubt that. Thanks though.

 

I have a similar one. I could not find anything but Matte Aluminum from Krylon, then I clear coated it. Turned out pretty snappy. Your looks great.

 

Great work!

 

lookin' good... every time I see people do this I concider doing mine, but I rarely look under there...

 

Looks amazing, great job.

 

The paint I used says nothing about heat. I am taking a chance I suppose. The paint only says avoid painting surfaces that exceed 200*F. We shall see.

Thanks everyone.

 

Very good job, looks stock!

 

Well the average temp our truck run at is 180-190*

 

I painted mine with regular (not high heat) and have had no problems.

 

Very cool!

 

Your like a robot you say the same thing over and over and over


just kidding

 

Looks awesome man. Pretty simple tape job and a great result. I'm having some paint work done next week. Might have to tape it off and tell them to shoot it.

 

That looks sweet! makes me want to do mine

 

That looks great, I'm tempted to copy your mod.

I have a Silver Taco and that would go great.

 

love the silver and black..............go RAIDERS
