i don't think it looks too bad, you should paint the other one too...just to match. Nah, i wouldn't say ricer...it's just dressing up your engine bay. i get bored some times as well. hehehe...

nice... but why white? (or, was that the only can of paint you had around?) should have painted between the silver lines... and then paint the silver black... get an inverted effect.

i think it would look ok if you sprayed in between the lines, and turned the silver lines black. then you will have achieved what some call, corndog status. =P

I wanted to do mine too, I have no experience with painting... can I get a quick step by step class if possible?, for a clean professional job.

its simple really, just mask up what you need to mask, then primer, then paint, then clear coat

It dont need to be sanded lightly for the paint to stick real good?
