That's pretty wild! I have thought about doing something similar but wonder about the paint's ability to withstand UV rays. Are you thinking about doing all the cladding that way?

That looks good...

Nice texture!

I like how it came out. Good work.

I did mine in LineX. It looks to be very similar to yours in 'roughness' but mine looks more shiney.

I like yours too Tom! Did you add a UV stabilizer to the Line-X? It will gray out if not...

I like the brightness of yours Tom... I'm considering a couple more coats of gloss for mine.

LASTURBO,
No, not yet... I will eventually tie them into a cold air box, when I get some more funds/time.
Also considering adding a horizontal vent from the engine bay across the rear of the hood insert. But not sure yet. Right now it's just for looks and whatever cooling it does on its own.
