Yay!!
I finally got round to doing my engine cover this past weekend.
Now I just hope it can withstand the heat and not start peeling.
Im thinking maybe I should spray a clear layer on just to be safe.

 

damn nice job! I got some green paint on the polished part and I'm afraid if I try to get it off, I'll screw up lol

 

not the best quality picture... but here is my recently painted manifold cover. sanded smooth, bright yellow with the "honda" letters painted silver.

 

^i wanna see some blue teeth on that mani cover. spooooooon!!!!!!

 

Damnit! I was going to do a Spoon wannabe as soon as I found a spare cover to play with.

 

you guys are really good painters lol

 

Getting the Spoon air cleaner, strut tower bar, engine torque damper, oil cap and radiator cap next. I'm going to Spoon out my engine bay.

 

What are you guys using to paint your manifold cover? picture of the paint can would be awesome

 

thank you sir i lve it te car fels soooo muc beter and now i dont have to worry about rain any more

 

just some regular outdoor type spray paint from the local hardware store. if you find one that is made specifically for plastic, even better.

 

Looks great guys. Lots of cool creations on here...I gots to do mine! I can't decide exactly what I want to do yet or I would have already.

 

heres how it looks now



heres how its going to look soon. okkk!

 

^^ That road map design would be pretty cool

 

that k series vc is going to be in my fit im swaping the motor out.

 

I did mine yesterday I put three coats of Krylon Fusion for Plastic paint, color Blue Hyacinth. I figured that would bond better since the cover is plastic..anyways it turned out really nice I had a few runs on the sides but I think that was due to my novice as a spray painter.

Anyways I masked the vtec emblem but I found some paint got through. So for everyone's FYI Goo Be Gone works great at getting paint off the emblem right away. I'll post some pics up later after I clean my engine some more!

 

GE's dnt have them :-(

 

heres mine finally, it came out absoluteley amazing!

 

very well done nice and clean

 

Not sure I've seen one of these yet. BTW someone sell me a stock cover for cheap!

 

ohh wow this came out nice. i was planning on doing purple as well, but more of a candy purple tho. love that color shade
