Default DIY ENGINE and STRUT BRACE paint

so i had a few hours to myself today and decided to paint my engine cover and strut bar! it was my first ever DIY project on any car ive owned. it was easy and very fun.
tools: 14mm and 10mm socket
make sure to remove 6 (in all) 10mm bolts for the strut brace and 5 10mm bolts for engine cover
paint thats atleast holds temps up to 500 degrees.
newspaper and masking tape to cover areas that arent gonna be painted
AND PATIENTS lol let it fully dry before putting parts back on or paint will be smeared
engine cover i did about 4 coats both pieces...strut brace 3 heavy coats.
heres a few pics! enjoy guys!
