Default Painted my engine cover, etc

Just for fun while Kitty was resting this winter and before I install Gonzo's hood liner and clean up the engine compartment, I decided to paint my engine cover, battery box cover and fuse box cover. I used a primer and a high heat paint. Left the air box cover black but painted the Jaguar V6. I also added a couple rubber bump stops to keep the existing hood liner from contacting the engine cover.

The arrow on the battery box cover is to remind me and to point out to any service tech, there is an extra screw there as adding the battery maintainer to the back of the box made it flip up at the front.

Yah, it's not professional quality but, it's mine.

Now that spring has sprung, time to clean...
