Not the best pics but what do you guys think? I didn't like the lettering on the IMRC cover, so I smoothed it out, prep'd it and the valve covers and shot them with some high temp ceramic paints. The black was "semi-gloss black", but for some reason it was more like a high gloss I'm going to wet sand it w/ 2000 grit to dull it up a bit. I'm very happy with how well the flat blue turned out, it looks like it was powder coated. Paint flowed out great and they both came out flawlessly

Man, just liked he said they look powdercoated. Amazing! You should set up a group buy because I would love to send you my cover. Would you like to paint a set of wheels and 4 calipers?

Thats good stuff. I think the high-gloss looks great, and I wouldn't dull it out if I were you. Good job!

Thanks for the props! To be honest, it's Dupli-color hi-temp paint, and it was too easy to do a group buy for.
