DIY Painted my engine cover

[pssstitsmike]

whay you need to do now is take and mask off the honda and paint it in silver or white that would look sick

Ill try to do that when i have some spare time. Im thinking silver or gold.

 

[pssstitsmike]

Almost finished

How did u tape off the honda letters so well

 

[Daniel Peden]

I just taped it with painters tape and cut it out with an exacto knife. It took me a while; because, I took my time to make it look nice.

That would look nice I was thinking I should have did a base cote of silver and then tape it off and do the red top cote but it was too late. Oh well

Nice! When it warms up and I do my spring cleaning of my car and engine bay I'm going to remove the windshield wiper cowl and remove the rear plastic engine cover part and do that to match

Haha yea...it's my daily so it gets put through the harshness of the salt and snow :P

 

[AlienPrime]

niice!! I baby mine

 

[TeeEyeVany]

niice!! I baby mine

Haha I do too...well as much as I can...it kills me to see it covered in salt...I can't afford a second vehicle for the winter though University student so once I get out and start working full time I'll definitely have a second car :P

yeah was the same a few years ago. so i washed my car twice a day. Was a 2003 Accord EXL V6. Sometimes i washed it 3 times in a single day. Was expensive but saved the car....
Never had salt on it for more than a couple hours...

all clean no matter day or night always cleaned

also put summer wheels and tires hahahahaha.

Was kinda a sleeper. 330fwhp and it looked stock till you opened the hood. All i had was a tint and 17x8 chrome wheels, everything else looked stock.

IN THE SUMMER...........

Nice! Washing the car as much as possible definitely saves the car...I had a 2006 Honda Civic DX with 130,000kms on it and I sold it in September 2011 for $8500....the person who bought it said they were looking for 3 months and it was "the best car they seen and that it was obvious that it was well taken care of"
