Finished painting my motor. what do you guys think?

So i used hightemp paint and did a lot of masking some polishing.

For the cooling fins i sanded down the edges to show the metal and kinda give it a cool highlight.

No at the time i put that one together you didnt have a kit for it. I just called up most of the vendors and asked for decals. most of them just sent them to me. others i found here and there. The Yosh decal i found at Laguna Seca Superbike weekend at the Yosh tent. Trust me if you had the kit when i was putting mine together i would have bought it in a heart beat. It was a pain in the *** finding all of those.
