Default finished painting under the hood


The radiator fluid container stuck out like a sore thumb as well as the silver metal plate on the fuse box. I painted everything black that I could and made all caps purple to match the intake and engine cover.
Took a while but turned out cool.

Shoot. That aint the half of it. I shoulda taken pics of my little girl's bike.
She helped me pimp my ride this morning so I helped her pimp hers this afternoon. We sanded down her chain guard and feathered metallic blut to purple. KNowing I shouldn't proceed but too excited to wait for it to cure, we masked off a flower and sprayed it to add the finishing touch. When I removed the masking, some paint stuck to it and we have to/get to do it again next weekend.
We'll wait a week before adding the flow this time.

Hey Grinner,

Did you use purple to match the air intake or did you paint that as well? I've ordered the K and N setup but in chrome, don't know if I'll be able to paint it. I kind of want to do that and the entire engine cover in RED....I had not thought about the caps, but I like it.

I painted to match the intake. It came powder coated candy purple.
My calipers are next.
