The original job you did in the OP looks the best IMO.

Wow if you ask me that looks GREAT. You did a professional job looks like it came from the factory like that. Let us know how it holds up for ya because I am greatly considering doing this to my car but don't know what colors to go just yet. Nice Work

The only part that is acrylic craft paint is is the lettering. If it doesn't hold up, I can just repaint that, not a biggie. BTW, my car is dark cherry metallic. It is a deep deep red metallic. I think the gloss red looks great, I will take a pic now that I've painted the diagonal braces and the radiator engine support with the new msp bushings and billet dogbone ;) Looks awesome.

I think I'm going to do the same thing to my GXP's engine cover. Good Job!
