Default Engine cover painted?



I want to get my engine cover painted (the gray area in the pic). Does anyone know of a decent and reputable body shop that will do it? Preferably in Northern Virginia but anywhere in the area is fine.

What color is youre car??


Personally i think thats a little rice-ish. Thats my POV mainly because that is too much matching going on. If you dont have anything special under youre hood then you will most likely not pop it open.

But hey thats me.

It's a black Nismo. I want to paint the gray area of the cover red like the 380RS. A lot of other HR drivers have done this.

It's really very simple to paint it yourself. Here are a couple pictures of mine done about 6 months ago. I used Duplicolor paint and clearcoat.
