I have gotten a few PMs about how I made my engine look like this

It isn't a mirror shine and I probably should of sanded a bit more but it used to look like this

It was pretty simple. First I cleaned the engine with degreaser and hot water. I didn't have much build up anywhere so it was easy. I then made sure it was dry and everything was clean. Next I bought Dupli-Color high heat with ceramic Aluminum spray paint - up to 1200 degrees ( $4 at wal-mart ). I also bought 2 sponge brushes there ( $.39 each ).
Now the action. I had some 1000 grit sand paper and used it on some things items ( mainfold & valve cover ). I wiped it down to get it clean again and began painting. What I did was I sprayed some paint into a small bowl ( actually a tupperware lid ), dipped the brush, and used the brush to paint the mani cover and some small things. When that was all dry I went for the valve cover. I first took all the wires and stuff off of it and taped it off with newspaper. Then I sprayed it, 2-3 coats.

I am wicked happy with the finished product. It was easy and took about 2-3 hours. BTW, Dupli-Color had other colors like blue, red, ect, but I chose aluminum.
I would reccomend doing this to anyone. If you have any questions, let me know.
