Engine Cover Painting Finished!!

Just wanted to see what you guys thought. It took about 1 1/2 - 2 hours to tape off the lettering but well worth it. I used Duplicolor Engine Enamel good to 500*F Red of course. Attachment 278877

I think maybe it's just that the engine cover plastic itself is not very smooth, so an even layer of paint will actually not be very smooth either. The gloss finish of the paint will just highlight the wrinkly finish of the plastic more than the less shiny black plastic.
