Duplicolor FTW part 2
So I recently had my car painted Bermuda Blue metallic from Mystic Teal. I already painted under the hood myself with Duplicolor and needed to change it to match the new color. While I was there I wanted to classy up the engine so I did this.

Thanks guys. I agree, the intake was making it look too "cartoony". Now it just has that sanitary look.
BTW, the valve covers are charcoal metallic. I'll take pics of it in the sun tomorrow.

Thanks. I do want to do something with the lid but it is so textured, I would have to use some body filler on it to make it look halfway decent. I really want to get a clear one like I had on my old TA.

No filler needed for the lid, just sand it down with 80 grit on a da, till most texture is gone. Then finish with 180, and prime with 2k primer. Or sand with finer grit then prime and sand with 400 before paint if your using laquer or spray can primer

No kidding...... That's awesome!!!!
Now to figure out what color to paint it. I think there is too much blue/green going on in there but black may clash.
What do you guys think?

Looks sharp, I like the painted intake. The relocated coils makes things look so much cleaner... I need to get around to doing that. What kit did you use to do it?
