Painted Engine Parts
Just got bored and can't stand the red that comes on the stock plastic manifold cover and also didn't like the red battery connection terminal cover so I decided to paint match it to something closer to my cars color.
First impressions: Looks good, I will get them back on the car tomorrow or the next day and get the engine bay cleaned up to take better pics. It should look really good after I get the carbon fiber radiator shroud cover and polished UICP

Kisada: I didn't remove anything, just used 1" painters tape and taped the whole deal off really well. It's pretty easy just takes a little bit of time laying the tape properly.
I used 2-3 coats of primer then 3 coats of the silver. I'll try to get installed pics this afternoon/evening after class. Thanks for the comments ~Trent
