That looks really good and very well done. Did the finish turn out as even as it looks in the photos? What paint did you use?

I do like that.

Looks great. How many coats have you used?

I used VHT WRINKLE PLUS paint. On the lower cover I used about 3 thick coats and then I fried it in my kitchen oven for about 30 minutes it turned out nicely and it even dried quickly so I could easily polish letters with 800 and 1200 sand paper ( dry ) but I had to be careful not to go crazy with touching it because paint was still fresh...
On the plenum chamber I used 3 thick coats fried it in the oven for about 20 mins and then I used extra coat ( really thin ) and the effect was even better than on the first cover after that I fried it again in the over for about 10 to 15 mins and it was ready to polish the digits I waited about an hour and it was ready to put it back on the engine
Color is nice and even no differences
