A couple coats of primer, a few coats of paint, then a couple coats of clear coat. I just gave it a good wash before hand, no sanding.

Got everything from paintworldinc.com. They have color matched paint. Bought the primer and clear coat from them as well.

I'm not into doing it on my car, but it looks like you didi a nice job painting and clearing it. The blue looks like it matches perfect.

Well I just got done driving 600 or so miles in god awful heat and the cover still looks good. Was a little nervous cause I didn't use any high temp primer or clear coat....we'll see how it holds up.

Looks really good. I am thinking about doing mine.
Good choice, nice and clean and adds a little touch to the engine bay.
