Default Painted engine cover, and a unique hood prop.

The battery and fluid covers are different than most, thought I'd show some pics.
The hood prop is just rods bent and welded, and a Jada toys Veilside widebody 350Z painted to match my car.

Nice pics. Your car looks great. I like the little "mini me" of your car inside the hood.

Once again, you have out done yourself. Nice job. Got any idea how they painted the DOTS on you battery covers?

Pretty cool how they did it. I would have thought you'd have to tape it all off to spray just the holes. What they did is paint the covers blue, clear them. Then next day they painted yellow over the blue and sanded the yellow off the top, which left just the yellow in the holes. Then they cleared it again.
It worked great.

I figured it was something easy like that. Thanks for the info. Do you mind if I copy it on my Redline?

Of coarse I don't mind. That's why I put the pics up, to show a different idea, in case anyone else wanted to do it.
