Default My Engine Cover Project
After watching you guys and taking notes from your pictures and posts, I put my one DIY spin on my engine cover. It's not perfect, but I like it.

Stock Black

Taped it up, Adhesion promotor, primer, CMG base coat

Hit is with some (leftover) Laguna Blue Metallic.

Time to paint the logo, and and it with some clearcoat, and some clearcoat

The unveiling....
