I'm not really a fan of a lot of bright color/s under the hood, but it does look like you did a great job painting both pieces. As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters ;).

It's a gloss blue. I used the Krylon Fusion for plastic. Works really well.

Like your "can't forget" oil capacity notation.

I've got a measuring glass that I keep in my oil change kit that is marked as a reminder.
