painted my engine bay brace.

[gremlinsteve]

recently had a paint company make me up some aerosol cans with the base coat. i was worried it would not match but it was as far as i can tell a perfect match for the sby.

it did take an entire can to get good coverage for the brace but the end result is a better/cleaner looking engine bay. thats my opinion obviously.

it does have clear coat also over it that was also shipped to me in a aerosol can. worked out very well.

looks great!
got any pics of it a little further away?

did you get the paint online or from a local body shop?

Very nice. I'm torn between polishing and clear coating mine versus painting to match. Food for thought...

ill have to take a few more pics later. some storms came rolling through so i put it back in the car hole...sorry for the not so good pic

Looks good!!! Might have to do one in Race Red...

It looks fantastic and I've been thinking about doing something similar but leaving the ends silver. Can you tell us how you got the matching paint in a spray can?

 

[CaliMR]

It looks like it came from the factory that way. And imo it should have. Very nice.

Looks like I'm off to Loews and buying some yellow paint. Looks great.

this is where the paint came from. they even have trim colors.

I like it. Thought about doing it myself. Now that I see yours I think I will. In race red of course. Gives it a nice custom look. Maybe leave the ends silver or white to match the stripe.

Did you prime the brace before you applied the base coat?

 

[gremlinsteve]

yes i did, base coated it and then the clear coat

 

[YLOBOSS]

Thanks, it looks great.

 

[gremlinsteve]

I've heard auto paint supply stores can put paint in a rattle can. Suggest checking with local stores.

I'm keeping mine as is & just keeping it shining.
