Default Fuel Rail Covers Painted
Wanted to change the looks of my fuel rail covers, so cleaned with denatured alcohol and primed, then two coats of red and Jake logos applied. Waiting for lettering and stripes then 2 coats of clear will be applied.

Looks great! Just one question, what color is your car? I'm wanting to paint my FRC's to match the body color, Torch Red, but I can't find Torch Red spray color match anywhere. So, even if your car isn't TR, can I ask what color code paint you used?

NAPA can mix your up paint with your factory paint code.

Its the gray/silver color. But I seen some pics with red accents in the engine bay and wanted to do that. Also going to change the intake couplers to the smooth red ones. My brake calipers are all ready red to.

Looks great! I assume that you have an air compressor and spray gun. I'd like to do this to mine but I don't have an air compressor. Have I seen where you can use ordinary spray cans of paint for this?
