My max is in the shop because someone thought the hood looked like a good place to park his flatbed truck. Since the rest of it is getting painted, I was goning to throw in a few extra bucks to get the engine cover painted too. Any try this yet? Does the engine head peal or fade the paint? Will the paint take the heat w/out catching on fire? I think it'll make the engine bay really stand out once I add more red grounding wires and tweek a few other things (including subtle lighting of the bay).

 

mine has not faded or craacked... i was thinking it may due to the heat, but as of now its ok....

 

Don't paint it, take it off

 

Did you paint yours or is it stock?

 

...I don't want to look like every other .org member...

If I can get it done, I'll post pics for opinions.

 

I agree. I look for things that will be a bit different. IIRC there have been a some guys who have painted the engine cover with good results. For sure post pics of the finished cover.

That said, I went for the 'removal' look. There's a lot of stuff that can be polished/detailed etc. under there......

 

Yours looks good w/ the black exterior. Mine's Merlot, so the block looks bare w/out the cover. I think it'll come out a little like a japanese Fose. Hopefully it won't be too ricey or else I'll be going to the junk yard for a new cover!
