Painted my cracked/yellow CF engine cover

[505zoom]

Finally got around to this long overdue project. Long story short, my engine cover got roasted and started to look like crap. Fixed it with a tube of bondo, a crap-ton of sanding, and some 1200*F engine spraypaint. Turned out pretty good, could have gotten it a tiny bit smoother, but I was sick of sanding it at 2AM and threw the paint on, haha.

On to the pics.

The culprit:

Roughed up for some bondo:

The passenger side vent on mine is starting to discolor a little, and it has some minor cracking on the underside.

.. The really sad thing is that, since it's Friday, my brain is so shot that I only looked at the very first picture .. and was gonna say, "Uh Rich, WTF, you didn't do anything!"

(freak)

But now that I've recovered from my (temporary) stupidity -- yay, pretty!

EDIT: I just now noticed your horn placement and almost peed myself laughing, hahahahahha!

Haha, you don't remember that?... been there forever now. Gives it mass macho sound shooting out of the hood vent.

And I think I've told you that if you were REALLY brave, you'd be like me -- you'd mount it directly next to the vent in your hood, but pointing backwards, RIGHT AT YOU. So that whenever you honk your horn, you blast YOURSELF out! Wheefun!

Oh, and make sure your windows are rolled down, too. That makes it even bettAr.

lol, oh yeah that's right.

Nice job! I like that look better than the original!

 

[1moreMPH]

why on earth IS your horn up there? lolz. That new paint job though looks really really good. i actually like it better than just straight CF, it has more class and 'snaz' i think.

 

[kamon8404]

Yeah very nice job, once again doing things with class and being custom at the same time. Love it. Oh, and patiently awaiting the 300 whp stock block. I don't know how the hell you are going to pull that inless you have some parts in your closet that we don't know about and haven't seen.
