Just put up the close-up shot. Or do you want closer. I can go as close as you guys want because I'm not ashamed of my work. hahaha

-2 Coats of Primer
-2 Coats of High Temp Red
-2 Coats of High Temp Clear

if you powdercoat your wheels red also, it will match, the red and black look is very A-team van-ish, make a photobucket video of mr T drivin it through like a chain linked gate (be sure the hood swings up opening to show the red engine cover) and play the awesome theme song!, i dont know why people are knocking this painted engine cover, it's cool i think - the stock engine COMPARTMENT was so dull before, oh also put a red wing on too, yes

It sure stands out. I would of went with a different color. But that's what these mods are about, individuality. Right?
