Ideas on what else to paint??

[GlOcKnRaM]

Today I am working on painting some of my plastic trim pieces in my engine bay to match the color of the truck. So far I have all the fluid caps and the cover for the fuse box. I thought about starting there and seeing if more needed to be painted. Whats yalls thoughts? I attached some pictures, dont worry its just primer for now...or should I just stop while im ahead, as this is stupid lol

here is the final coat..I dont think it looks half bad. Might stop here though, just dont want to go over board..what does everyone else think?

paint your heads.

I have no idea how to lol..it makes me nervous to even begin to try lol

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

got the pieces put back on..I think it actually looks good! Might paint the big hemi cover over the engine!!??

did the whiper fluid cap come out darker?

I think its just the camera flash??..all the pieces matched up before I installed them

probably is either way looks good i hope to start painting some of my underhood parts soon too starting with the vararam lid

I want to try something with the engine cover..id like to paint it the same color as the other pieces but paint the letters black. Not sure how im going to accomplish that but ill figure it out!

 

[SILVER_BULLET]

hmm im no painter so it might be a dumb idea but what if you put a trip of tape accross the top of the letters then go back and with an exacto knife cut the excess off leaving just the letters covered

 

[0212353]

bingo!

do that!

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Exactly what I was thinking..and then cover around it to paint the letters, might take some time but I think itll be worth it!

Another option and one I am going to try on my CCV cover on my cummins is to paint the cover and then cover the area around the letters with play dough ao that the letters and cummins C are cisible and the paint them black.

Now I understand painting to look better, but i would have left the dipstick yellow..just incase you took your truck for a oil change somewhere, the tech is gonna say he can't find it. Of course this is a non existent if you do that yourself

nice work...looks good

Haha yeah I do it all myself..I was getting annoyed with the yellow, so i painted it all. If I did take it to get it serviced I wouldnt have messed with it.

[travis.smith]
