Thanks guys!

Marcus, I'm prolly just going to hit the bolts with some touch up paint. Here's a little trick if any of yall didn't know. If you are using spray paint and you need to touch up a little spot, spray the spray paint into the cap, enough to get some paint in there. Then, using a touch up paint brush or something similar, spread on the paint.

 

That cover looks good. Nice Job.

 

Nice work, how long did it take you to fin that?

 

I worked on it 3 separated days. With probably 3-4 hours each time, which includes setup and clean up time. So, doing that tough math 9-12 hours. The most time consuming part was making off for the rays.

I think this is another one of those, 'I'll never do it again' things because solid colors are soooo much easier to do.

 

What kind of paint did you use?

 

I was going to use just regular spray paint (like rustoleum) but I couldn't find the red that I wanted, someone else decided they needed all the red the store had. But I found the red in some high temp enamel spray. I used regular auto primer then a white base coat with engine enamel spray paint. Then hit the stripes with red enamel spray and finished it off with standard clear coat.

It's not necessary to have the high temp paint on the valve cover, but I ended up using it anyways because I couldn't find the red in regular spray.

 

Got bored and played with photoshop:
