well, actually i started late last nite to get a jump on it, but already ran into problems...for one, the dust keeps getting on the cover before i can even finish a coat, and two when we were taking it off, my friend dropped a bolt into the engine compartment somewhere but we couldnt find it...hopefully in the light ill be able to see better...so far ive got two undercoats on, but the area around the lettering is still a bit dirty, though i tried my best with q-tips and sandpaper to clean it out before hand. i must say though, the paint shop said if i put the high temp coat down before the laser blue mica and before the high temp clear coat, it wont matter that the laser blue paint isnt high temp...but i dont see how three or four layers of paint could protect the layers of non-high temp paint...well, hopefully by 4 or 5ish my time (CST) i should have some pictures of the finished project.
 
Is it pretty easy to do? I want to paint mine. I have paint for calipers right now, then on to the engine compartment.
