PAINTED Engine Cover Awesome!

Very nice. I'd take the hood off and cruise around

 

haha Thanks! im glad it turned out good. Ive done a couple so I kind of knew what i was doing. the only hard part was figuring out exactly what to use to make sure it holds up for the next 5-10 years. Its really not that hard. Just follow my instructions and as long as your taking your time then it should come out the same. With your own colors of course.

 

looks good!

 

Nice! I like it.

 

Great looking cover... Looking to do something like yours.
One question about taping.

• Did you do multiple taping?
• Or, just did it once?

My concern is that if i wait till the end when all is done... that the fresh new paint will peel off with the tape.
Cheers

 

I was actually kind of worried about that myself. But I wouldn't wait to long before taking the tape off. I would wait a max of 30 mins - hour to take the tape off after all the coats of paint are on. Just to be safe. And by multiple taping you mean layers of tape?

 

Here it is without the sticker, white lettering, and clear coat over the black. Still looks good without it as well

 

Nice OP! Did a little something similar myself.

 

Nice. Reminds me of my old Honda valve covers. I was going to do mine awhile ago. But it's been in my attic for a couple years. It'll stay cleaner there than in my truck

 

Yup painted my old Honda one as well

 

The trd a sticker?

 

Clean. LS it looks like?

Wish I could find some old pictures. Only have one engine bay shot left before it was painted though

 

Baller status! Boosted K20 yee!

I just finished building and boosting my D. 25lbs, its scary fast, wheels dont hook till 3rd gear

 

This is awesome, thanks for the write up!

 

yes it is a sticker.

damn that shit is super clean though. I miss my LS integra. it only had 69K miles and it was a 1999. my plan was to do a LS-Vtech turbo, but obviously that never happened. I got the truck so it would be better in the snow and for the fam! even tho its just my dog and my wife haha. One day I will get back into the car world and get my rx-7.

Of course! Im glad im able to help a few out because it took me a while to research the proper way for plastic. and I understand people have a hard time taping and prepping as well.

 

Awesome job ,derp might work too.

 

Yours looks awesome as well! I like how you left the lines straight. What did your coats consist of?

 

The K was NA. I was going to supercharge it but it got stolen. Shortly after this picture.

I love built singles! We built my buddies d16 and it was nasty.
