Default Engine cover completed

Many Thanks to "Hillslam " for the excellent instructions and pictorial for the prep/painting of th engine cover. Took a day about 10 hours to complete. I only had to change 1process as Rustoleum clear engine spray is in very short supply so had to use Dupli color. I used a hair dryer between coats to cut down on the sheen. Only problem I had is getting the masking tape off around the metallic Corvette pieces, Need to take your razor knife and slide it along to get the clear to let go of the tape. Total cost was around 60 bucks.
