Refinishing the engine covers

The S52 (and I suspect, M54) engine covers rub against the underhood insulation.  All Z3s do it and this one was no exception.  Other owners report that you can use a silver Sharpie pen to fix it, but I went a different route.  When we got married, we made our own invitations with a tool called a brayer and imprint plates.  I used the same tools for this fix.  For the paint, I chose Por-15 Aluminum which is pretty much a dead-nuts exact match.

Por-15 High Temp Aluminum 8 ounces, $19.95r (Amazon)
