I dont want to be the bad guy here. But deep down inside in "my" opinion i think you are getting abit carried away painting everything blue... I dont usually like posting negative comments and dont let me stop you doing your mods. But i couldnt lie either.

the heat from the engine will burn off a lot of the paint, if not just discolor it.

i would keep it aluminium, and maybe polish it and keep it from rusting, i think it would b nice like that. and yes in my opinion as well is i personally.. wouldnt add anymore blue, but thats just me, its ur car in the end you do what makes you happy with it =]

Nice Work, I did the same basic thing. Defiantly interested in how the template plays out, would be interested to do it to mine, if it turns out good.
