Default Just painted my motor

I finally did my first mod to my bike, I painted my motor with some flat black heat resistant paint and i think that it came out pretty good. In the pics that I took it showed a few grey spots, but after seeing them i touched it up. Any way thanks to midnight2005 on here who i got the idea from (he posted on a thread saying he use VHT paint and i liked they way it came out) it was cheap and pretty easy. In all i spent about fifteen bucks(paint and tape).

I used flat black VHT hi temp Flame Proof header paint. You can get it at autozone, O'Riley or advance auto parts for about nine bucks, and i also still have half a can left after painting both sides and the airflow. Hope that helps.
