You should get it HPC coated. Much more resiliant finish than spray paint..

well the paint was only 2 bucks for 1200*
as the paint is drying the color is getting darker so its not as bright as the picture. there might be a few more surprises later This post has been edited by LewFX: Apr 15, 2006 - 4:51 PM -------------------- |

That looks real good. It reminds me of an old-skool Corolla valve cover or something. Good job!
