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.

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.
