Looks really good. Definitely something ill consider doing.
For us newbs that never painted car stuff before what did you use? Does the dealer sell paint other then touch up sticks? Any special spray can?

Actually it was left over rim paint from another car I use to have. It was Dupli-Color rim spray paint. However it should work as it has an acrylic enamel mixture to help prevent scratching and the heat. If that doesn't work I just move on to the next type of paint. It's not an exact match and nothing ever really be if you buy from a store, and I don't feel like getting a true color match online or from the dealership, or auto body shop...but I suggest something that isn't regular spray paint as it will be under your hood cooking away get a "tougher" type of paint.
