Just painted it a couple days ago. Will get some pics up of it on my car. Looked like this...
Attachment 39753

And now like this...
ImageUploadedByTapatalk1341924543.967472.jpg

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1341924606.301060.jpg

So that cost me about 30 bucks maybe. Used one can of vht wrinkle black spray paint from autozone, some wax/grease remover from Walmart, painters tape and some red scotch brite pads.

Cleaned them first with washer detergent and water in the sink with a scrub pad, ran it thru the dish washer after that and than went to town on scuffing it and removing the last of the dirt. Taped it down, wiped it down with wax/grease remover and then wiped it down with a clean rag.

After putting wrinkle black on the hybrid SR valve cover I've drilled and tapped the hole and installed an AN adapter to run to the catch can, also made a new coil pack cover since the oem one was faded plastic.

Just checking to make sure it was -10 adapter that the machine shop installed, so many fittings laying around, but never the one I actually need

stripped, recoated, and this time baked on, this time the wrinkle fudged a little where the welds are on the front

Oh well, I'm leaving it, 400+ hp will overshadow a few flaws
