Yeah, you want to be able to glance at the coolant tank and see the level. If you have to do something, maybe a nice gloss coat??? Just make her nice and shiney.

Leave a unpainted stripe down the side of the coolant tank so you can see what the level is. Sort of like the side of a quart of oil.

I am so way ahead of you guys. The whole non painted line was the first thing I thought of. Cause unlike my buddy who made a coolant bottle then Powder Coated it. He forgot to fabricate a fluid level window.

Stitch, your engine cover looks great, the only downside is it makes your engine look dirty.

I'm curious to see how your coolant tank comes out.

Well I finally did it. The heat shield you've seen but now it has a clear coat on it. The coolant bottle and Air Box now match.
