damn man very very nice, what color is that and what's the process that you did to make it so nice.

thats sick...yeah what is the process you went through to do this...

Its a 2 coat process. Its a 500 degrees F resistant anodized paint. Base coat is for the plastic surfaces or dark bare metals and then your second coat (top coat). Its basically ment to make plastic look metal

So, the paint didnt hold on the valve cover, it peeled off on some parts of it. I had to get a different paint which they didnt have blue so now the valve cover is green. I'll get some pics soon

Heres the Pic of everything finalized (for now)

Try some light sanding with adheasion primer. I'm surprised that it don't hold.
