Looks good, I think it would look better with those four oval things black but they are a b**** to tape off.Maybe paint your positive terminal cover that same red ???

good job though

I was thinking the samething; it looks great I painted my 3.5 valve cover red too, but I think it would have looked better if the ovals were kept black too.

this was my first plan but i was gonna make them white like the emblem......It is horrible to tape off damn near impossible bc of the layout of it........i tried and failed miserably......this is the finished result after sanding, painting, then waiting to dry, re sanded then repainted and clear

hahaha ya it took me forever to mask them off, I have mine painted blue w/ the nissan emblem blue and the rest black.

The taping didn't go so well but it looks alright, not too noticeable
