Modified my Buschur Racing sparkplug cover-(PICS)

Well after getting the BR sparkplug cover today, A very very well made piece, pretty much fits better than the stock one. I thought it needed a little something. The lettering on the cover looks really good but I didnt really care for the machine marks that remained within the lettering. If any of you have this piece you might understand.
So I went and got some 2 part black high heat epoxy, and used a spackel to swipe the epoxy across the lettering. After it dried I wet sanded the cover until all of the leftover epoxy was gone, then I polished to a mirror shine using Mothers aluminum polish, and beautiful black filled letters remained. Smooth as glass and only took about 45 minutes to complete, not including the 1 hr drying time for the epoxy. Here are the pics.

it took about 45 minutes to do not including the 1 hour for the epoxy to dry. Aluminum is extremely easy to polish.
