With the rain this weekend, I decided to play around with a can of Krylon Wrinkle Black. I painted my horn cover and that crappy band that goes around the battery box. I also purchased a flat profile chrome battery box that I intend to wrinkle up too. But that'll happen later. There's a contour on it that I didn't realize till I opened it and I think I may bondo it or something to get it completely flush and flat. Anyway, here's some pictures of the spawn of a rainy day, $5 and some free time.

Sorry for the crappy pictures. Not a lot of space in the garage (as you can tell!).

I was thinking of doing the exact same thing with the band around the battery. It definately looks out of place being silver.

Great job and thanks for the inspiration.

 

You Gotta get this

Yeah, I've been eyeing that cover on other's Bobs. $40 here, $40 there...it never ends. :-)

I actually thought about messing with the stock one - flat black or something - and then resorting to buying a new one if I messed it up.

Whiffleboy, I think it looks great. Where did you get that air cleaner cover? I would like to get one but in billet or chrome. Thanks.

 

The AC cover is from ECE

Thanks Whiff, those guys have some great looking stuff.

 

rainy day, and a can of wrinkle black is a dangerous combination. LOL

It's looking real nice, Whiff.
