    i tried to do this with some cheap autozone epoxy. don't do it. it doesn't cure to the point where you can sand it without pulling all of it back out. and you get a lot of air bubbles.

    If done right and prepped properly. I saw a review and it wasn't done right, the filler areas started raising up and messed up the pain, then it cracked under the heat and really went to crap.

    I painted my covers when I put in the 2nd motor, didn't prep them at all, just primered and painted.... apparently where oil had been that I didn't get off caused the primer and paint both to flake off after about a month when I went to powerwash the engine bay... made me mad, but I just need to do it better sometime. Learning experience at best
