Easiest Mod Ever

Guys I just completed the easiest mod ever. I bought a can of spray paint, sandable primer, spray clear coat and sand paper. Painted my fuel rail covers and saved about $180.00. I am afraid I am going to go paint crazy now. If any one is scared dont be...very easy

My engine bay is a virgin, but I did the cowl/windshied wiper area. I haven't seen too many people do that on here. The stock one is too dull for me. It was really easy.

I also did my door panels. I'm doing a white/black interior conversion:

Congrats on the painted pieces. A little color goes a long way in the engine bay.
