So I painted my Engine Covers this weekend. The grey was obviously WAY off. It was the same on the can.. different on the plastic. Steve is sending my a sample of the charcoal mettalic he had laying around so I can go get it color matched. Then the grey is getting redone and I'll paint in the audi rings, 5v, and turbo. Still looks decent in my opinion. Made a huge difference.

I also put together my own hardware kit for my engine covers. Works great. Nothing like DIY for less money then you can buy something for. Also there is thatfeeling of accomplishment.

 

Nice job. Can you provide more info on the hardware? The stock plastic stuff is junk. I found a kit somewhere but they want $100 - not in my budget.

 

a little costly but 42dd has some.

 

I'll post part list with pictures tomorrow when I have time... got everything between lowes and home depot.

 

I have to purchase 1 more piece (3 of it actually) and I'll be set. Total is $17 right now for my hardware. I think it should be around $20 or $22 when all said and done.

WOOHOO.

 

looks sweet! i'm gonna have to do that sometime this summer too!
Painting my covers that is.
and the hardware...

 

hey that looks great....and I was looking for a new hardward kit...that $99 one is a bit too much for me....hope you still plan on posting that parts list

 

Ya, we need a parts list and write up lol...

 

ah hell. i still have to go to lowes and buy 1 more thing.. wasn't going to do it tonight.. i'd rather drink but i guess since you keep pushing me.

i'll be back in an hr with the writeup.
