Painting my fuel rail covers

[MADN3SS]

I'm excited. I dropped off my fuel rail covers to a local guy who custom paints motorcycles. This guy does amazing work. I should have them back in another week, week and a half. Solid color was about $130 or a custom job is $375. He does real flames, true fire, whatever you want to call it.

Mine are going to be black with red themed lightning bolts. I have a fascination with lightning. I have several prints hanging on the walls of my house. My wife hates it.

I'll be sure to update the thread when I get them back. They obviously won't be ready for the Corvettes @ the Pier show this weekend, but they will for the Dimmitt show.

Here's the guys website. He has thousands of pictures on there. I wish I had a motorcycle so I could paint it!

EDIT: Just got these pics in from Scott at Attitude Custom Painting. They look amazing!!! I should be able to pick them up Thu/Fri this week. Just in time for the Dimmitt Show.

Thanks for the link, those are beautiful paint jobs. Did you send your OEM fuel rail covers or did you need to buy smoothie covers? Are you considering the radiator and tank covers as well?

Please post pics when you geth them back.

I sent the OEM ones. He is a professional and will sand it down and apply an adhesive. For now it's all I plan on doing. I'm not into it looking too busy underneath the hood. I may add a little carbon fiber or something, not sure yet.

I will definitely post pics when I get them back.

He does some amazing stuff with the real flames on them.

Cant say what theme Im going with as Im keeping it a secret from everyone, but once I get them done, Ill be sure ot post some pics. I have seen pics of the progress and they look killer.

Those look amazing! I can't wait to do mine; unfortunately my a/c compressor went out so the fuel rail covers will have to wait. Thanks again for the informaion and great pics!

Those look sweet. :bow: Did that job run you $375.00?

I'll have to keep that guy in mind when I go in to do some work.

I wish I knew how to paint like that.

Hell, if I had covers that looked THAT good I would be searching the universe for a completely clear hood! I'm sure SOMEONE must have thought of that idea at one time or another......

Speaking of fuel rail covers, just got some pics from my painter with mine. Cant wait to get them on the car.

Wow, those look great! I was having a hard time deciding between fire and lightning. I love both. My sig has fire in it and I have lightning prints all over my house. Will you be at the Dimmitt Show this weekend?
