92gli,
Very nicely done. The color does look very close to OEM. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome work. Looks great! Did you have to take out your spark plug seals or could you leave them in? I just replaced all mine recently during a valve adjustment, didn't want to have to mess with them again because of the need to bake. I have a heat gun so I'm glad to see that work.

No need to remove the spark plug seals. I left mine in and it had no effect.

I had them out because I was replacing the whole gasket set.

this stuff works great! IMHO i think it looks better then powdercoating and has a lot more wrinkles!!! just did this one over the weekend!

sanded cover
cleaned with acrysol
2 light coats of primer
1 heavy coat (as per can)
3 coats of pain in 3 different directions!!!

anyone looking to make their valve cover look nice again. this is a great way ! just take your time and do the prep work dont rush!

It's hard to improve on silver on black!
