Got bored

Sitting inside with the wife, got bored and noticed a tube of red paint on the counter.
Red paint + Q-Tip + 10 minutes =

So do I read this as fingernail polish? It did turn out quite nice. I wonder why no one has done this already? Good job.

I kinda like the silver idea since that's what color my truck is, but that red sure does look nice.

I was going to do a combo silver/red to make it match the badges on the door but I didn't have any silver around. I have to be honest- up close it doesn't look absolutely perfect, but from more than a foot away you can't see the light/dark spots (which could be fixed by touching up, but I don't care that much).
I have a spare engine cover identical to this one- I'd be willing to paint it up and ship it out to the first person to PM me their shipping address if anyone is interested.
