I have a polished black cold air coming in this week. I am doing a red and black scheme on the car, with a carbon fiber hood and trunk...and so on, feedback good or bad. peace

Personally, I think it'd look better as one color. Or maybe Black with Red Risers or letters. The camo doesn't do it for me.

its not camo, the way i sprayed it made it so that when light hits it one way it looks red and with a different angle on it it looks red

Not bad lookin. It kinda has that cherry looking color to it since the black is in there.

use the high temp engine paint. which i hope is what you used for the black and red. just get the same stuff in clear. it'll shine it up a bit so it doesnt have the "spray paint" look to it.

the word ragtag comes to mind........ it's your IDI, but i'd redo it cleaner, and clear it.

i think that it looks soooo tacky when you spray over the rubber where the bolts screw in

you can mask it but its kinda a pain. just spray it all red, then by hand do the raised parts with a brush.
