Tried my hand at painting engine cover

4rwheeler · 04-24-2007, 02:19 PM

Tried my hand at painting the engine cover. Did it a little different than some others. I only taped off the silver on the "HEMI" lettering and painted the part that slopes up. I also tried to match the paint in the center to my body color (silver steel metalic) and did the strut tower covers while I was under there. I am not a very good painter, so this is probably my best work. No runs! I can't figure out how to post a picture, so if someone could give me a hint how to, I will.

Hey 4rwheeler, I'd like to see it.

I am sure if you go to a search engine and look for "upload picture" or something like that, you will find one.

Yeah, that wasn't any help. I have pics on my computer, but have no idea how to post them. Must be easy, since everyone else can, but I haven't figured out how to do anything but type. No avatar, no nothing.

Um...OK. I thought I had some computer skills, but I have no idea what any of that is. IMG?

Maybe this is it.

I think I did it. Can't make it bigger though.

Tried about 20 different ways, this is the best I can do. Starting to feel a little dumb. Sorry for the tiny pics.

I painted the oil cap silver since this morning.

If you can tell.

Bigal470 · 04-24-2007, 06:50 PM

looks good!

how are you uploading your pics?

4rwheeler · 04-24-2007, 09:56 PM

Thanks. I am pretty proud of my self and for about $20.And the only way I can get anything to upload is if I upload them to snapfish first and copy and paste them in the message box. Going straight from my computer doesn't work. Tried changing the size on the camera before downloading them, but they are still the same size.
