Air conditioning caps? WTF?

You left out the cover to the Anti-Freeze container, and the Radiator Cap.

Now you need a hose kit!

In my opinion...to much red, I think you should have gone with a contrasting color rather than red. But it does look clean.

When you painted your Spark Plug Cover, did you use engine paint or regular paint? how did you keep paint off the "H" logo and the 'DOHC 16V' logos?

looks cool and clean.
What kind of paint did you use on the plastic parts?

When I paint:
I put grease on all logos and any where I don't want paint to go. Once paint is dry just wipe off all the grease. Any where you had grease there will be no paint.

I don't think it's too much red. Looks nice and clean, but I agree on a contrasting color. Maybe, white or silver silicone hoses to go with it?

I was thinking about doing a different color hose kit rather than red..probably gonna go with white or silver.

I taped everything off with masking tape(the good sh*t) and cut around the edges very carefully with a razor blade.

It is krylon #(something) i can find out. I used it instead of engine paint only because my friends have done this and have had no problems in their cars.

When i said air conditioning caps i mean the little tiny caps that cover your low and high sides of your air conditioning line. The where blue so i painted them red. I also left out the dipstick top that was yellow and the prop rod. I painted them both red also but i'm gonna have to redo the prop rod and rig it somehow because it rubs in certain places.

I was gonna do the radiator burp tank cap but the hoses wouldn't come off with ease so i left it.

Oh and by the way
Thanks for all your comments

hopefully i will have wheels in a couple of months

Thats what I did with my cover, just taped off the 16V DOHC part and the H, cut around it with and exacto knife and sprayed away, I took the tape off before I clear coated though, so now the H and the other look shiny also

I think it looks really good. Nice and clean. I think some silver would go good in there. Overall: Great Job!
