Did you tape over the info labels before paint or apply new ones? If so where did you get them? Thanks

calebs, a couple of months a go i came across OEM touch-up spray paint on a website (cant remember the site). you may be able to match that paint to the valve cover.

Looks good, why did you paint it all nice and shiny, but leave the engine dirty?

Heres mine, the old man aint bad with an airbrush, and a rattle can...
