Painted my Air lid and base support today

How does it look ???? I love it ! I also painted the fenderwells, intake and some metal braces in the engine bay this past week. Its a work in progress, have a long way to go but its getting better.

braces and fender wells look really good with the gloss... personally I think its a bit too much black but thats just because I drive a pewter so I'm biased but it does look VERY good! nice work... now just do the wire mod...

Thanks........I will never do the wire mod. It does look good but not for me. I got wires running eveywhere so IMO hiding a few doesnt help that much.

i dont see too many wires...you shoulda seen my engine before i started.

wire mod, air pump/egr delete and some FRC's and you'll really be in business

the most important part of the painting is your prep work

i buy the OEM color paint from Adv. Auto...its a little more expensive than most, but it holds up waaaay better than anything else. found it out when i had to strip some off lol
