Lookin' good!
I like the uniform look under the hood. I think it cleans things up nicely.
Tho i do agree with the other people who prefer the matte/flat finish.
Props for doing something different!

 

the reason why i dont like the engine cover is becouse it LOOKS like it was spray painted. thats a no go. sand it down, and paint it flat black! everything else looks great.

 

Sand down a piece of plastic? What grit?

 

Sand it with 400 grit. Use a bucket of water to keep the sandpaper from getting clogged. Dip in water, sand, rinse, repeat. You just want the surface ruffed up a little so the paint will stick better. Also, it looked like you had a tiny bit of orange peel (the wavy look) where you sprayed. The sanding will help prevent that because the paint sticks better.

You don't have to go crazy with the sanding, just make sure the whole surface has a uniform sanded look.

 

look better

 

Thanks

 

Do you think Plasti-Dip will work?

 

nice mods, I have always hated how that cover looks stock.

 

Never used it, but heard it is good. You just want the surface as uniform as possible before you start...even if you are going to use the plastic dip.

I know the plastic dip is tough and will withstand the heat. It may peel unless you sprayed/dipped the inside of the panel as well. If you are going to go that route, I would spray a band around both the front and the back to help against peeling.

 

First off let me just say, awesome color! I like PB wish I had one. I like what you did with the emblems..but I agree..you might want to do flat black as oppose to gloss. It looks kinda weird. In one angle it looks good, but that pic where it's right on top doesn't look so great in IMO. Looks like you put in some work. Good luck with whatever you decide

 

The weave looks bad because of the flash from the camera.

 

Oh

I have been trying to get a hold of you. I lost your # and was wondering if you would like to get together

 

your engine cover looks weird.

 

Yes I know, its been said.

 

Better?
