    Some of the problems you’ve had were caused by using two colours. It’s a personal touch of course but it gave you loads more work because of masking and having to remarking. I did my engine cover and only masked off the logos and engine type. I also painted the filter cover and battery cover. The only colour I used was the manufacturer’s colour. It took. A day and was so easy. Saying all that, your cover looks great.

    Use 2k lacquer aerosol instead of single. Gives a shine as good as car bodywork.

    Looks great Mike
    When you painted it the first time. Os there any prep l need to do to the cover? Did you sand or prime before painting?

    Tip of the day: 3 coats of clear is much better than 1 😉

    To fix the red just clear coat the whole thing

    Did you need to use a high heat resistant paint?

    • @MikesHouseOfMods

      I wasn't sure if I needed to use high heat resistant paint, but I did anyway just in case. The engine bay can get pretty hot and I didn't want to take any chances. It's been months since I painted the engine cover and it still looks great.

      Are you talking about the 3rd brake light? I never changed it but I believe they are LED bulb(s). Is it not working?
