Very nice job and very attractive! Don't forget the oil filler cap!

VHT makes some good stuff. I've seen a guy use their wrinkle red and it looks almost identical to the stock red for our valve covers with a SLIGHT hint of orange (seriously, extremely slight, almost not noticeable).
Looks good though, hopefully it stays on there for a while. Prep is key with these types of things

Second pic got my worried as well. Looks like a bad rattle can job until the finished product. I really like the oem textured look. Well done, how did you get it rough like that?

That looks great. I have an AP2V1 cover on order to replace mine, but given how long it's taking Magestic, they may be no more left.
I am thinking about doing mine in a dark blue...this looks easy.

Oh man at first when I saw the second picture of you freshly painting it I was like "Uh oh".... but the end result turned out really well! 
What about the second pic got you worried? It look too thick or something? Thanks

Just use the right VHT paint. The very high temp paint comes in regular or wrinkle finishes. The rough look just comes out as it dries.
