Yeah, it looks bad ***, one of the best paint jobs for a valve cover I've seen so far. Looks like flat black, Hi-Temp, multi layered right? I want to know what you used!
It looks pretty smooth and even. Good job!

Well the black was Duplicolor's "Low gloss black" engine enamel. Its between gloss and flat. kinda like Satin black. It has ceramic in it so its not goin anywhere. The lettering i did by hand with a brush and paper cup with duplicolor's "aluminum" engine enamel. The black has probably 3 coats. Took me 2 days to finish. The first time i painted it, the letters peeled because i tried to tape them off before painting it black, but it didnt work. So i took it back to work and sand blasted it and now thats it.

oh yeah, i forgot, you gave up on trying to drift an open diff... lol power overs... weak sauce. Power overs only work when you HAVE power. I dont think our measly 140 horses at max to the wheels will do much good here.

lol 155 is at the crank, or so the factory says. Now lets factor in drivetrain power loss and loss of power over miles of driving and you have roughly 130 ponies
