The one part of my engine bay that wasn't "complete" was my stock coolant overflow tank. It always bugged me. I sent Steve over at SLH a new stock overflow tank to coat with a new material he was trying out... He really went all out for me. In the end, I wasn't happy with the end product. However, I am still incredibly thankful to Steve for giving it a shot...
So I figured,,,, heck,,, let's try shooting the tank with a black high temp high gloss rattle can. Turned out great. Drove it around yesterday in 90 degree temps and so far so good. Hope months of daily driving will allow the tank to look as good as it is now. While I was at it, I went ahead and covered up everything and painted the entire front of the engine compartment in high gloss black... Looks better than new.. Some pix:
