Yeah, that looks sweet!! Did you use a spray paint can? I went to the shop to see if they could mix me up a spray can of my paint and they said it can't be done. I would have to use a spray paint gun that the shops use.

Looks good. I was thinking of doing my strut tower bar too, but still kind of skeptical. Here are some pics of mine.

I manage a collision center and can say from experience that a basecoat/clear coat application form a spray gun ends up looking much better than a spray can, but for the 99.9 percent of you who do not have access to that you really don't have much of an alternative.

Painting the strut bar makes the whole engine compartment look better.
