Default Dressed up the motor

I was bored one day so started painting some of the parts on my motor. Took the coil packs off and painted them red,(that was a bitch) they kept getting fish eye's, so they match my MSD wires, also took the valve covers off and painted the them a high temp bright alumn. Painted the oil dip stick a metalic blue (silver base first), then painted the bracket for the battery wire connector by the alt. blue also. I just like doing this stuff like this sometimes to make it look better, but didn't want over do it either. I really want to take the intake manifold off and chrome it, but it seems like that would a good challange (to much stuff to take apart). I'm not sure if I showed you guys the wrap I did on the Volant cover. I did that in carbon fiber, and then put some SS decals on there. That was pretty easy, had to use a heat on it to stick. Enjoy the pics!

Yeah, I like to keep my truck extremely clean. It's not a daily driver as you can tell.

Damn, talk about clean. My engine bay looks like a disaster. But 8 midwest winters will do that. Only thing I don't like is the blue bracket. Seems a little out of place IMO
