From the small picture, it looks good. Do you have a bigger picture?

Question: When its time to clean the engine; will the degreaser and pressure washer damage the paint on the cover? If it will, is it safe to remove it and expose the wires underneath?

Now that I think about it a candy coat would have brought out the separation of colors alot better.
check out this candy black!
