All work done by myself using automotive grade basecoats and clearcoats and labor hours of love

 

Looks awesome saw this on your FB page. Did you sand this down before painting?

 

Yessir, sanded, painted black pearl on entire thing then clear coated, then after it dried, wetsanded clear smooth, masked off for blue, painted blue, then recleared the entire thing

 

Your work is pristine, you can clearly tell your attention to detail really results in exceptional work

 

Thank you sir hopefully more feel the same id love to have my work on other ppls rides!

 

It looks awesome. I'd like to do the same to my engine cover. Can u list the exact materials I'd need to get the job done. And that all the supplies be bought at a local auto zone?

 

Looks great JP! Keep up the amazing work.

 

Can't wait for this to be delivered next week, and sending you more pieces for your custom work!

 

Joe6mtt, unfortunately none of the materials used on this can be bought at a local autozone, the paints and clears used on this are the same materials used on vehicle exteriors, this is not aerosol spray cans, and is not cheap either, however the end result finish is glassy smooth and resembles metal, and not the rough, texturey plastic cover it actually is

 

Great work!!!

 

How does someone get one of these?

 

I think you find yourself a time machine. JP had crazy skills. You should see his brake caliper projects.

But seriously, what you'd have to do is find a body shop that has the experience and talent to do custom work with professional grade materials. And be prepared to pay a lot for their time.

 

Beautiful. Yeah using proper automotive clear makes a huge difference. I have more of a wrinkle black theme going on with mine, so I kept the cover rough, but this year might mess around a bit. Great inspiration, and I totally approve on colour choice, not biased at all hahaha.

 

I guess a lot of the users have moved on from this forum...sad, but still great cars.
