Looking good as usual. :D

I second the notion, where did you get the paint? I would like to paint my Hella Supertone horns as close to body color as possible and that looks like a very good match.

Ya know there are lots of cars on here that have painted engine covers, but I do like this one a little better than the all one color ones.

Paint is Dupli-color DSFM340 Royal Blue. It is indeed a very close match. I've even used it to touch up paint chips.

Would it be worth the effort to do that in Phantom Grey?
I don't know if the contrast would be enuff to show up... But yall's look great!
