Another Painted Engine Cover

Just picked it up tonight....will take better pictures in daylight so the flash doesn't reflect so much:

Edit: Okay, can't get the images to post..........Nevermind. The pictures are in my gallery if you care to look. Sorry.

Re: Another Painted Engine Cover

Thanks All. It was done by the same guy that did RV Xfire08's flames. He is in Orange Park, FL and you can check out his web site at http://www.mackair.com/. The idea was to do a Cobalt Blue Carbon Fiber look, ripped around the teardrop, looking down into the silver. It really is difficult to see all of the detail in the photos, but he is an incredible airbrush artist. Everything he does is an original.

Re: Another Painted Engine Cover

Mack is AWESOME! He did custom flames on my Impala SS engine parts. He's been doing various custom work for me for years. He's really good and keeps getting better.

Highly recommended.

MAN! Mine looks so bad in comparison I'm just going to have to toss it out! Kudos!

Do you know what kind of paint he uses? Any issues with adherence to plastic? You know us engineers, got to have all the techy poop

Does he do helmets? I have a virgin white helmet that is need of some graphics.

No problems with adhesion....in fact, he guarantees it. Says it's all in the prep.

And, yes, he does helmets. Check out the web site for some of his bike work.
