it would defeat the purpose of a teaser if I told you!

 

[rdss]

Then how long does it take to paint a piece of plastic?!lol

 

[firstorbit84]

With a 2 year old and 3 month old to take care of, small projects like this can drag out days or weeks. :banghead:

 

[rdss]

How are you going to find time to help me swap in the RS suspension then?!lol Toss the babies in their pack in plays, throw a coat down, check on the babies for a few minutes, throw another coat down and repeat until happy with babies and coverage....

 

[firstorbit84]

I'll just strap em on with a baby carrier.

I should be able to finish over the weekend. I usually work on stuff like this while the kids are napping or after bed time.

The real mystery is what I'm going to do with the ecotec logo area.

In progress. Teaser pic:

Did you add those 4 areas near the top of the cover or has it just been too long since I looked at my engine?

Black and Blue is my favorite color combo by the way, keep it up

EDIT: that's just tape, now I'm sad

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Those 4 bulges are like that from the factory

Lol, I'm a little embarrassed to say that I also thought the tape was blue paint when I first glanced at the pic. In my defense I was reading this thread on my phone so the pic was pretty small!
