So far as plan

paint as silver
dashboard
shift area with cup holder (want paint whole everything but leather opener is not match if I can't get leather paint or it can?)
window trim (like Daytona 500)
fuse cover
diagonal braces
upper motor mounts
paint side with bottom door trim (I think it look sweet)

drop paint idea plan
rear speaker (so they can match as door speaker)
door handle since they are with door panel

I think that's all I can think about.

Okay, I think I will go for top trim piece with cup holder only. I thought I might try something new for car show.

really? hmm I'm not sure how I feel if I leave cupholder unpaint.

Other member (I always don't remember everyone name. This message board should have real name instead user name lol) did his dashboard himself. Cupholder is paint too. I thought it is nice.

that's boosten's... i say an easy way to get the fuse cover lookin good is spray tire shine on it...

the things i'd paint in the engine are the dogbones, their mounts, diagonal braces, and the coolant overflow... that always looks icky... paint it black and it wont be noticeable...

you can tape off areas so you can see the level of coolant from the inside

the coolant bottle is just an overflow, its not that important. just put a piece of tape over the line at 'half' and another at 'full' and paint the rest whatever color you want, then take off the tape. Then just make sure their is enough coolant that it reaches that line. If you can't see the coolant at the 'half' line then add some. If it's in between full and half then its good.
