      Custom gold IM and spark plug covers

      These are updated pics. Ended up painting the battery tie and the piece thats holds that hose next to the spark plug cover.



      My brother in law and I were painting the rims on the RX8. turned out pretty good. I had about half a can left so I decided to waste it. I havn't seen anyone with a gold IM cover so I thought I should go for it. Let me know what you guys think. I may need to do a couple more coats. Sorry for the bad pics. off my cell phone.

      Thanks. It could use a couple more coats though. It looks too light. but then again I don't have the best camera.

      I used Dupli-Color Engine Enamel for high heat resistant. I actually didn't preapply the covers at all. I was thinking of sanding it a little, but i just did light thin coats, waited 5-10 mins in between to cover up then did some thicker coats. I did not remove the
      I-VTEC. .lol..I just covered it with painters tape. if anyone has done at least minimal spray painting, this is an easy DIY project. Heck if anyone local would like thiers painted, I can do it for them. just hook it up with a big mac or starbucks or something..
