I'll let you know when I do mine. my plan is to start the process when I get out of work one day and then let it cure overnight. I'm doing a wrinkle paint though so it might be different.

I took someone's advise and made sure it was heat resistant. I have never seen what happens to someone who used regular paint buuttt i might as well say it again....
 
Kind of off topic, but can you use caliper spray paint to paint the valve cover too? They're high heat and should work right?

Very nice color though, love the matt black
 
just had mine powder coated...soory for the lousy pic....came out real well, i'll be installing it next week.

Wow that's glossy. That'll look good in your engine bay. In mine.. it would just look terribly out of place. Hopefully the wrinkle paint is in stock soon at Summit Racing. I bought it more than a month ago haha.

I thoguht about putting forth some better effort and getting a glossy looking one but I have some future plans that would negate that aka cover so we'll see....
