what color white did you guys use? Was it just the high heat engine enamel universal white from Duplicolor?

 

[MazdaBoyWonder]

these pictures all look great guys!! I was thinking of painting my engine cover this weekend. Was also thinking of painting my calipers too. Do you think that the paint will help with rusting and stuff on the calipers? Cause they look kinda nasty from all the salt and stuff. Also, is it the same paint I would use?

 

[BurnoutX]

you definately want to use high temp paint for your calipers("engine" paint).

as for the plastic, not sure if the standard would work well

 

[Caffein8d]

For you guys with the cover that runs across the car (as opposed to the conver being sectioned from front to back), were you able to take the Mazda logo off before painting?

I'm planning on doing this once it gets warm, but having black plastic surrounded by silver will annoy the crap out of me.
