Painted my strut tower brace

[Gabe]

Long been thinking of doing this, and I finally got off my butt and painted my strut tower brace yesterday, re-installing it today.
I got the primer, the color, and the clear, all from automotivetouchup.com since Sterling Gray seems to be impossible to find other than custom places like that.

Anyway, after 3-4 coats of primer, 3-4 coats of color, and 4-5 coats of clear, here's what I ended up with.

Let me know what you guys/gals think

And a pic of the engine bay without the brace installed, just because, lol

And a "before" pic:

Looks awesome! Way better!

Looks great, was thinking about the same thing on mine but with Grabber Blue it may detract from the engine... Yours looks perfect with everything else in there, well done!

 

[Gabe]

Thanks guys ... I also started painting the "Cold Air Induction" lettering on the top of the airbox, I only got the "COLD" done so far, also in the Sterling Gray, but using the small bottle of liquid paint and its little brush ... it was windy so I stopped after the "COLD" ... to be finished soon

That looks great, good job.

looks good, did you paint the coil covers or it comes like that?

 

[Gabe]

Thanks guys. The coil covers are the Boss302 covers. I still have my stock gray ones, not quite sure what I'll do with them. I may sand them, fill-in the lettering, and paint them ... we'll see ...

Looks a whole lot better than stock.

 

[MyGG]

Nice! Matches the engine cover soooo much better.

 

[Gabe]

Thanks guys. I'm now realizing that I need more color under there ... way too much gray/black (dark colors), and only the coil covers to brighten things up a bit ...

Ship me your painted one and I will ship you my stock one... a clean slate for you to work with!
