FTO AUSTRALIA

Painted my engine cover this arvo ( will post pics up soon ) I used engine enamel, how long should I wait before I can put it back in and drive it without mucking up the paint? Also, is the car ok to drive without the cover?

I would give it a good day to set. As for driving with out it that is fine.

This link will give you all you need .

Perfect, thanks az. Blue cover with red writing is what im thinking. Whole thing is blue at the moment, looks nice

any pics? interested to see how the blue and red turned out

Yup got em on my phone, will upload when I get home

Interested to see the pics too

Not bad for a first attempt?

Thats... um.... bright? lol

The pictures were taken at night under like 3 sets of lights, it looks a little more toned down in the day time. Will post daytime pics when I get some

Good job though but yeah interesting colors, but could just be the lighting

yeah, uhhh. WOW.

Me and Braydon took my cover off last night and cleaned it and then blackened it. Nice and new looking now. Still deciding on how I am going to design my engine bay...

Hmm I dont see how its bright as everyones saying.
Whats wrong with abit of colour? I reckon it looks mad dude.
Im thinking of paining mine black and yellow.
I'll probably change my mind when it comes closer to the date of the actual painting looool.
Shoulda showed me that day, woulda been good to see.

Next time

Haha no problems!
Youll get a close up look of my ride also - you should pop by my place on Wednesday man, if your up for it and free ofcourse.

Wednesday probably not hahah, too much traffic after school. Weekend, maybe

no problem man, weekend though i finish work at 7pm and would be home by roughly 8pm.
I doubt you'd wanna see the car at night time though especially considering its black & u wont see sh*t haha!

Could probably do a thursday as I finish at like 12:30pm

And I start at 1pm hahahaha!
yeah dude ive got crazy hours.
every wednesday im not at work and every rotating weekend.
(so this weekend im free, next weekend working so on & so fourth)

Ahh ok. Could probably do today if you arent busy? Could take you down to a tyre place if you want, or to get some speakers.

Well it would sorta be pointless today as I dont have my car yet
Anytime after Wednesday we can do anything ahaha.
(but i still needa get my P's)
