    Thanks guys!

    I was just painting parts getting ready for the new engine and got a little carried away with the cover

    I ground the bottom egde smooth and sanded it down

    Painted high temp silver

    Taped off the top and used caliper red

    Taped off the center section and used a high temp gunmetal

    Sanded the letters bare and then clear coated the whole thing

    Then the custom cap....:evil:
