Painting Engine Covers... What steps??
I have seen quite a few here that have painted the covers yourself and was wondering the process envolved.. Do I clean them with alcohol, then sand, prime, and paint??

You need to only spray with 1. Adhesion promoter, 2. Flexible primer, 3. GM color of your choice, 4. GM or other clearcoat. All steps dry fast, and can be done fairly fast. See my album for photos.
Good luck...
