So, just finished this today, went pretty well all in all, if I did it again there are a few things that I would have done differently, masking on the letters is not the best and I would have done more sanding ...

Oh and apparently if you inhale clear coat fumes it will give you the most intense nose bleed ever !!!!

 

nice

 

Nice, man.

 

Looks good. Where did you get the heat resistant paint an lacquer from?

 

Looks like a good job! What did you use to spray it? I'm getting ready to do mine soon and will have to post pics. Wesco Supply in Auburn quoted me around $250 for the materials, color match, and clear. I then went to the body shop down the street who quoted me $150 for the whole job...I'm going to jump on that!!

 

All of the paint is Dupli-Color from Shucks, total probably cost me about $60 ...

However, the most pain in the **** part was trying to paint the letters a matt black which turned out to be this textured paint which totally eff'd up the smoothness of the whole cover.

The other thing that was a pain was the Nissan logo delete, had to fill the hole with Epoxy but the cover is made from Polypropelene which nothing will stick to ...

Here is another shot to show how the paint changes under sunlight ...

 

Nice. How did you decide the color?

 

The colour will kinda match the anodized hoses that I have for the catch can, we'll see though ...

 

Looks good

Can't wait to see it at the MS mini meet.

 

glad to see that you put that thing to good use

 

So, some wet sanding, rubbing compound, polishing compound and some elbow grease later ...

Picture whoring !!!!!!!!!!

 

So are we going to see pictures with the engine or what?

 

+1,000,000

 

I shall do some tonight, I did a test fit and it looks pretty sweet

 

Here you go ... I'm still not 100% happy with the shine ...

 

That's a good look. I like it.

 

That looks nice.

 

wow !

 

all that greddy stuff makes it look cheesy, you should get rid of it! (at a good price of course )

 

Thanks for the Photbucket tip!!!! I had to monkey around in there a bit but was able to resize some pics.

Here is my color matched engine cover. I did most of the prep work but Kirmac in Auburn laid down the color and clear....just one more engine mod to do...and the parts are being tracked as we speak, errr type.
