Default Dipped Fuel Rail Covers

I had some clear flames left over so I dipped the fuel rail covers, just trying to clean it up a little. The picture is not the best but the black looks better in person, I used Mothers Back to Black. Should I do the reservoirs or is that too much?

Looks like you did an awesome job with it. I'm not sure about the tanks though, might be to busy. Maybe a solid color for those? I'm gonna leave that up to you.

I went with smooth covers for the tanks. It leaves the bay clean and brings focus to the engine instead of the plastic pillow cases.

I too would recommend a smooth cover for the washer/coolant tank and have those painted in body color.
