Sometimes our posts are all too serious. There is no intention here to make fun of any profession, but I am sure some of you have had an experience where you wondered if he knew which end of the socket wrench to grab :-(, and other experiences where their skills were truly outstanding.
Just finished my engine cover paint job yesterday, and am pleased how closely it matches the C_Blue.

There is a long post on this subject at FreshAlloys by bOOgie. He did an outstanding job of providing clear project instructions. The paint is a remarkable match to the Caribbean Blue. It is Plasti-Kote, #311 Blue Metal Flake. Got mine at a local auto parts store for $5.00.

I like the contrast of the red and blue.

Do you know which forum on Fresh Alloy? Just searched four of them with no results.
Thanks!!

 

Don't recall specifically. Just do a search for all posts by bOOgie. the subject line read: Re: How to paint your engine cover (the short version).
