Default Update to my Engine painting

Here is the completed engine painting with the original Red lettering. I think I am going to go with Chrome or SS.

Damn you, I got all confused to what section I was in seeing a C6... I must have doubletaked the screen three times Anyway, those covers looks awesome, did you do the airbrushing yourself?

Oh, and great color choice for the car, but then again, I'm partial!

Sorry about that, but until a few weeks ago I had a C5. So just posting to those who I use to post with.
I did airbrush myself.

Yea, I am one of those who got to see his talents first hand on his C5, now he is turning up the wick on his new C6

Ray, when you finish up with your engine bay I want you to make some adjustments to mine, along with the calipers and rotors and and and, you get the idea

Steve, you know I will be willing to help improve your vette (at least appearance wise, cause you don't need anymore HP mods). You should have let me do your covers for you
