Great Video. Thank you for sharing. Also Beautiful Car. I have a 2015 Mustang in Ruby Reb and absolutely love it.
Thanks Ken. Pass it around to your friends. Grandpa Bill
Looks great. Well done
Thank you for the video Grandpa Bill! Was skeptical at first on painting the coil covers but after seeing the outcome, I thought of finally doing it on my '16 GT/CS.
+Saif Momin Thanks... Yes you can do it... Don't go fast and rush it. Let things dry in-between coats. Please send my video to your Mustang Friends... Nice Cruise Picture... Grandpa Bill, Austin. Tx.
Great video and very thorough step-by-step! You'll always have the guys that say you could have done this and you could have done that but the fact of the matter is that it is your car and you put the effort in doing it yourself. Knowing things may not always turn out to be perfect but it all turned out great in my opinion!! And that's whats it all about, doing things yourself and having fun whilst doing it.
I recently bought a 2012 gt and thought of doing the engine cover and the coil covers. So i found this video very helpful! Thumbs up to you!
+Brandon Collins Thanks, glad you found it helpful... Just take your time and it will come out great.. Yes it was fun and I get lots of complements at auto shows. Grandpa Bill, Austin ,Tx
Awesome step by step video! I was worried about how to do the lettering but you explained it very well. Keep up the good work and please make more videos.
+toecutter33 Glad I could Help You. Just pass it along to you Mustang Friends. Grandpa Bill.

Wow that looks amazing!!!
Thank you for the video & all of the tips!
Grumpy5.0 You are welcome. Pass it along to you friends... Grandpa Bill.. Austin
Looks great! Cars these days are harder and harder to customize. You have to buy add ons that everyone else can buy.
You and I come from a different generation of “Car guys.”
Keep it up! I’ve lived Mustangs since my parents had a 65’ when I was a kid. My first car was a 65’ and later an 85’ when I got back from overseas. I hope to get another 65’ as my final driver.
Great vid!
Skykiller thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Grandpa Bill
Nice work looks very nice on white
Thanks..now go back to bed...LOL Grandpa Bill
@@billfraught haha I work nights and it was my day off so I’m used to be up late, starting my valve/engine covers next Monday hope they turned out as nice as yours got the same car color. Blessings. You got a new subscriber here!
You lost me on the letters i watched the whole vid for the letters
Bill - I have just completed painting my engine covers with the same products you used in this video. Same steps as well. I went with a base color of glossy white. About three days after painting the white has now turned to a yellow tint. Any suggestions.? Please help. Thanks.
Great videos! Hope to see more. I have a black 2015 mustang gt. Still trying to decide what colors to use for my engine covers.
+hatterz Yep... That is a hard decision, but just search around the internet and you will find many examples of Mustang Coil Covers in various colors. Good Luck, and please link my video to you friends, so we can help others. Grandpa Bill... Austin, Tx.
Black on red will look killer. Red letters and line with red in the middle of the engine cover
Awsome video I appreciate it alot
Thanks. Glad u enjoyed it. Had lots of positive reply to the video. Grandpa Bill
Like the Granitelly polished expansion tank with logo? Where can I get one like that? Can only find without logo
You need to go to there web page and call them on the phone directly, ask if they will put the Logo on whatever tank you want...here is the link. Good luck. Bill

I'm trying to decide what the best part of the video is between the LSU hat or the finished product. Awesome job!
Austin Foret Thanks. Geaux Tigers!! Pass the video to your friends. Grandpa Bill
Nice job looks great bill keep up the good work.the reasoning behind spraying the clear on the wht areas before painting them white is just for removing any overspray that can occur on the already red areas?
+Kolour Blind Yep... That is absolutely right...Remember when you are painting those letters or stripes on the coil covers, to NOT wait and just get two coats down pretty fast so it doesn't dry on you. Then take your rag with that Testor Airbrush thinner and start to wipe in one direction and turn your rag often and keep it moist with the thinner. Don't worry , you will be successful.. Good Luck
Grandpa Bill, Austin.
How’s the engine cover holding up?
Where did you get the coolant, oil, and brake fluid caps? They look great!
From URS in Florida
Remember they are for 2014 mustang See my video on retrofitting them. Just type
My name Bill Fraught, in the TH-cam search box and it should come up
Thanks for this video!! I'm trying to track down the thread you mentioned at the beginning of the video. I was able to find it but could not find the step by step list 94gtlaserrc wrote. If possible could you send me the link or something so I could use it along with is video? Thanks again!

If the link doesn't work. Just GOOGLE'' Hot to Paint Mustang Coil Covers" and look for the one that says, " OFFICIAL" How to paint Coil Covers. Good luck, Grandpa Bill, Austin.
Thank you so much bill! I'll let you know when its done, maybe send you some pictures!
Bravo!!
I like the video but I found paint pens work great for detail like the embossed coil covers. Just go slow and if you mess up you clean it easy. It's hard to mess up..
+Bill Fraught How much paint did you end up using? Did you need to use 2 cans of paint per application? (Primer, Color, Clear)?
+Focus Mode For the MAIN Color, in my case, Red, I used about 1.5 Can. For the minor colors, i.e. the lettering and strips that I did in WHITE, I used one can. The Primer, I used 1 Can, and for the clear coat, about one can. Remember at least two coats, but DON'T drown it. Just nice shallow coats, and let them completely dry between each coat. About 30 to 40 Minutes, When you do the last coat of PAINT, let that set up overnight, then do your clear coat the next morning. Good Luck and don't rush it. You will succeed. Grandpa Bill. Austin, Tx.
+Bill Fraught I can't find Testors airbrush thinner anywhere, including at Hobby Lobby. All anyone has is Testors Enamel Thinner. Is that the same stuff?
+Focus Mode Yes it is hard to find at Hobby Lobby. They don't have it by the Model Airplanes or Model Paint,... They have a separate section, usually at an end cap, for Airbrush stuff. You need to ask one of the little old ladies, where the airbrush painters and supplies are, and it is on the bottom shelf by the floor. I don't know if Enamel Thinner and Airbrush thinner are the same, but since they are two different products, my guess is that they ARE NOT the same... but I could be wrong. I think airbrush thinner is for acrylic paints, and Enamel thinner is for Enamel type of paints.
+Bill Fraught Maybe since this is Engine "Enamel" paint it should be fine? I will give it another look, but if I don't find it maybe I will have to just be very detailed with my taping.
Thanks for the how to
w garcia Thanks, pass it along. You are a lucky man. Lovely wife!! I assume!! LOL
Grandpa Bill
Thanks 23 years together and counting
Can you use normal lacquer thinner instead of airbrush thinner?
iMoto Photography maybe, but the air brush thinner is less powerful, and won't take off the under paint
maybe I missed something so only prep was cleaning and primer and after painting no sanding or clear? By the way amazing results on the painting.
Thanks. U are right, I didn't do sanding but check video at mark 4:57, that's where
I show you the can of clear coat. I'm not good at wet sanding so I didn't want to
risk screwing up what I had already done, which looked pretty good to me.
So I let it sit overnight, then put on the clear.
Thanks for the questions. Good luck. You can do it just don't rush and you will be happy with
the results.
Grandpa Bill, Austin, tx
Ok sounds good I will give this a shot on my EcoBoost engive cover do black and red like you did so just primer is all I need and of course a spray of clear also.............
Hey, How exactly did you tape off the details of the letters? Do you have a picture.?
+Falco16 I'd like to know how that was done also...!
Yeah, I mean whatever he did, they came out great. I'm planning on doing mine over memorial weekend.. lol
Ok go to part 20:38 in my video. There I explain that I can't make up my mind to put tape between each letter,
OR just put one LONG piece of tape on each side of the letters. I decided that taping each letter would drive me
Crazier then I'm already am!! So you need to put a piece of long tape on each side of the letters" Powered by
Ford" then cover the rest of the cover with your towel, then spray with the white paint for your letters.
DoNot Let It DRY!! Then grab your towel that has the special thinner on it, REMOVE the tape fast, then start
Rubbing the overspray off. It will smear, so keep wetting you rag with the thinner and rub. Do Not Drown it.
It should come off easily since, you had already sprayed it with the finisher spray, the night before. If you
Guys still have questions, just write and I will explain it until you feel confident that your question is answered.
Thanks. Grandpa. Bill
+Bill Fraught Thank you..!
+Ferninand M. Cole II I have answered your question about the paint the letters on your
Coil covers. Hope this helps. If you still have questions, please feel free to keep asking
Me questions until you feel good with my answer. God luck. Grandpa Bill
The overspray that was on the middle of the engine cover came up from underneath. Spray paint will find its way anywhere it can, and it blew up from the unprotected opening underneath.
darcsystems x thanks. Didn't know that.
Geaux Tigers!!
what color red did you use
+C De Asia Zehr It's call Bright Red, I got it at Auto Zone, made by VHT. Thanks for watching and good luck with painting your coil covers. Grandpa Bill, Austin, Tx.
Why would you only put a oil separator on the passengers side and not the drivers side?
Tyrel Thibault You can put them on driver side, but some research suggest that 8O% of the blow buy
Occurs on the passenger side. Thanks for commenting, Grandpa Bill, Austin
Bill Fraught thanks for the info. Never heard that before
Chit... I just want to know where to get a T shirt like that..........
Luis Barrueta thanks...well when you have 5 kids, that's the kind of Christmas gifts you get. LOL
There's always a comedian in the group..Grandpa Bill
What about an oil separator for the drivers side valve cover?
My. You don't really need it on the drivers side. Oboist 90% of the blow by occurs on the passenger side, but I have seen them on both sides. I believe as the car gets older and breaks in, you will see an increase in the oil accumulation on the passenger side. But I've hadn't emptied my can in 4,000 miles, which will probably lead me to check it once every oil change, which for me is every 5,000 miles. I use Ford synthetic blend I pick up at Wall Mart for about $17.00 per 5 quarts. Remember your Mustang , if it's a GT v8 will take 8 quarts of oil. Glad I could help you. Grandpa Bill, Austin.
Great vid, but would have liked to see the actual cleaning and painting technique instead of here it is after already done, esp. when you painted the letters. Thanks.
Steve Chenoy thanks. Steve. Glad Grandpa could help you you. Stay safe
Buying custom engine/coil covers to get a certain color is just a waste when you can just spray paint it the color you want.
next time use trash bags or some painters plastic drop sheets to cover up the spots you dont want painted insted of using towels
therealmeazy Yes I thought about that, but the towels were a lot thicker then thin plastic, thus eliminating the potential of
Infiltration or overspray seeping through the gaps. As far as "next time" that won't happen...it's once and done for me.
Thanks for watching and commenting.

Came up Mickey mouse 👍👍
I guess that means it came out good...Grandpa Bill doesn’t know Mickey Mouse, personally...
Not too bad...
LOL. Yea. For an old fart. U too funny. Grandpa Bill
Texas shirt but LSU hat....ditch the shirt.
Matt Plavidal ...Well I’ve got five kids, so pick any school in the SEC or Big 12 and I’ve probably got a kid there or went there...LOL...
You didn’t show how to do anything you read instructions without a live demonstration
Charlie G ummm , I didn’t know I had to show how to press the top of a spray paint can...Really?? To me, it’s really
Boringly painful to see someone spray paint anything... and the only instructions I read was in the first part of the video, showing where you can get the printed instructions, for those who don’t like to start and stop a video, and would rather read. Sorry my approach didn’t help you...Grandpa Bill, Austin., Tx.
