Default Custom fuel rail covers done.
After having these for over a year I finally worked up enough nerve to paint them to match my car. I started with 180 grit paper and work my way up from there. I used bondo fiberglass resin to fill in the corvette, a hand sander, used brake caliper clearcoat, sandable primer, and dupli color pacific green met for paint. This was a lot easier to do then I thought. Still gotta get some heat tape for the back before they go back on. This was my first time so don't bash them to bad.




What do ya think?

Overall I really like the look of them, the covers look like they could use some clear coat and/or some wet sanding between the coats, would give the green more depth.

That'd take you forever with the clear you used. Start with 1000 then go to 2000. Take your time, use a soft rubber or foam block and wipe dry often to check your progress. Good luck with it. They sure look great!

I see that this thread has been dead a while, but I love these covers, and I wonder if you ever got a picture of them on the car?
