Engine Cover

I had just recently did my engine cover also but I am not completely finished with it though.

Remove the Engine cover by unbolting the two bolts which hold it on
Set these bolts aside for later use

Take off Engine Cover

First I masked off the Toyota and VVTI badges

Second Use Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter - 3 Coats

Third- within 10 minutes of applying the Adhesion Promoter Use DupliColor Metal Specks paint ** make sure you get the heat resistant kind* - I Did about 4 coats

Forth- WAIT FOR IT TO DRY!!!!

Fifth- peel back the tape

Sixth- Repeat these steps on the little bolts

Last- put engine cover back on and HAND TIGHTEN the bolts that are now painted

And your done

P.s. most heat resistant paints should work
You don't really nessicarally need the ENGINE paint( 500+) because you are not painting a part that gets really really hot
However, you should still use a heat resistant paint

goodluck I hope this helps

Older pic, but shows the cover pretty well...



Honest to goodness IIP, 25psi HVLP, with TECH241 clearcoat. Did the cover, strutbar, and radiator plate all at once.

The most current pic I have (weird green reflection on engine cover)

BEAUTIFULLLLL

This isnt done yet but some progress has been made...
