ok so a couple of people on here have been watching me do this little project and well its finished for now until i get my CAI. so here a few pics before, during and the finished project i hope you guys enjoy.

The before pic it was takin in the winter a few weeks after i got the car.

when i first started painting everything before i decided to do the full thing.

The engine cover with just the primer on it.

Engine cover with the first layer of blue

Engine cover after all the masking comes off.

A close up before clear coat

A close up of it being finished with the clear coat

Another shot of the finished project just a little farther away.


anyways hope you all enjoy them and these things just sparkle when the sun hits them.

 

Looks tight, but you can take that big plastic piece off if you want...

 

have u ever been to calgary in the winter...i grew up there...if i was him i would leave it on haha..keep the engine nice n warm. think of it kinda like a touqe haha

 

ya i can take all of them off if i want and the big blue one is gonna be taken off after i polish my valve cover.

 

yea it looks alot better w/o the big plastic pieces

 

ya but its better then keeping it black while everything else is all nicely painted and clear coated.

 

Looks great! Good work.

 

i do like it, i would probably like it more if it was a darker blue, to go against that black thought. oh well good job

 

ya i did the painting twice as i didn't like the way it came out the first time and then when i was satisfied with how it came out i got them clear coated at my work.

 

Very nice work. It looks great!

Mike

 

thanks i still have a few things to do to the engine bay but im kinda stuck now as the rest of the things i want to do kind of require a few more dollars then a few cans of spray paint lol.

 

looks unreal steve!! i love it

 

you shoulda just kept that cover off... its sole purpuse is to deaden the sounds of the engine..... lol with it off, you would hear the engine better


looks good though

 

I think it looks sexy and when you see it in person he's done such a great job on the clear coating it looks high gloss and very slick.

I still say taping off the ECOTEC lettering would have really "popped" with the rest being blue but hey it looks slick either way ^_^

 

Not a big fan of it to be honest. But hell, +rep for being original!

 

original but i would have went with red not blue. R you going to do anything else in blue?

 

the reason i went with blue instead of red is my brother is doing the whole red and white and i didn't want it looking like his. and i'll be doing a bunch more like all the tubing and wiring will be converted to blue, but im kinda at a stand still until i get my CAI and some more cash.

 

Nice look steve, man I haven't seen your Cobalt in months now cause of ****. I get my Cobalt papers signed tuesday, the Orange SS S/C with the low profile spoiler like u and Chris have. We'll Race sometime muahahaha

 

thanks bud ya i don't even bother racing ss/sc as there is no point in me wasting gas right now.

 

lol hehehe i am going to have entirely too much fun with that Cobalt

 

Yikes... Looks Silly without the SC..
