[General] DIY painting engine cover or similar (properly)

[toey@carfx]

no prepsol/iso/wax n grease remover wipe down after wash or a clean after sanding?

i was going to do a write up on my cover that was done in 2k red and black c.o.b., but got over it as most people dont have acess to spray gun

Does look like a lot of work for something that is mostly hidden unless you're gonna drive around with the bonnet up all day. That said it does come up really well I admire your patience!

Im looking at doing the same with my engine cover and otr in poison ivy green (like my car).

All up cost me about $60-$70 but I have a fair bit of stuff left over.
