Re: Painted engine cover

I suggest removing the engine cover when you bring it in for service. I painted my engine cover. Then I brought it in for service and got a 10% discount. I asked why. "We scratched off the paint on the engine cover while working."

Never thought I'd be using touch-up paint on my engine cover.

Re: Painted engine cover

Red,

Great looking paint job! What kind of paint did you use? I assume you just masked it and sprayed it on? I LIKE it!!
