Well just in 2 or 3 days however long it's been, it is still looks like I just did it.

2002OZ said his has been good for 3-4months now...

 

well, i was an idiot and used anodized blue (non-engine paint) within a month the paint started cracking, so i as like damn, ill just strip it and paint it again. so me being a dumbass, i bought the spray on paint remover which took off the paint real nicely, but it also started stripping the original grey of the valve cover, and not entirely. so i was left with chunks of dark grey with light grey all over. i said **** it, ill paint it dark blue. well the paint didnt cover it nicely, i could still see the splouches. well all in all, use hi temp paint guys. so then i bought a valve cover from TURBOIT. so i bought clear high temp paint. and anodized blue again. Anodized blue looks sooooo good. well i put the clear, let dry then put a coat of blue, then let dry. for some reason the blue doesnt mix well with the clear. it started running. the whole thing was ****ed up. good luck to all. im still gonna achieve that anodized blue no matter what!

 

what spray paint did you use angelite?

 

well theres a couple. i used duplicolor anodized blue. duplicolor high temp clear, and blue colors.

 

i have duplicolor metalcast blue right now, it have 500 degree resistant. on your other post you said anodize blue fade, this can i have say anodize color effect. do you think its gonna fade?

 

not really sure. i used the same one. i thought it said anodized, but now that i think of it, it is metalcast. well if it sez 500 degree, there shouldnt be a problem.

 

thats sweet. im planning to polish my valve cover. which should i go for, red or polished. any suggestions?

 

If it's 500 degree or better paint, it will work. Any other non engine temp paint will not.

Polished or red would look cool, that's a hard decision.

I have some updated pics of some more custom work I have done in my engine bay, I will post more pics as soon as I get more batteries for my camera.

 

OK searched my house for batteries...

This is a full engine shot pic. Notice: the bolts for the header, radiator holder things.

 

Closeup of header and bolts.

 

is that header new or sumpin?

 

Left side view:

Also I painted the battery tie down bar.

 

Uhmm.. it's the RRM header, I've had it for a little bit now, I'm just showing how I painted the bolts, just wondering if everyone likes?

 

damn pumpdog looks nice....looks almost exactly like my engine, but everything of mine that you've done (except header bolts), is andodized blue

 

looks pretty good, i wanna do mine in blue as well but for now im not gonna do much dress up as my engine bay may change greatly in a few months....not sure yet though
