I used the Duplicolor Mirage paint. 3 step sytem:Black primerMirage PaintOvercoatJust wash the cover really well, make sure it is perfectly dry, and you can pretty much use any spray paint. do a LOT of thin layers, and do some sort of clear top coat to make things all smoothe.Give yourself an afternoon for the project :D It's quite easyPics of my engine are @ my website if you are curious as how I did mine.
