Painted the cam cover - results
Krylon spray pain. noting special. Baked it in the oven at 230f for a couple hours to harden the paint. Seems tough enough for the engine bay.
It looks better in real life, the picture sucks. However, I may be inclined to just powder coat the thing all white then hand paint the black lettering in. I have the front suspension/crossmember out and the rear beam comes off today. Making some serious head way on the saff.
Thoughts?

Oddly not really. Took my wife a couple hours to say "is something burning?" It was REALLY dry when I took it home. I just wanted to harden the paint. The primer seemed soooo soft.
I'll run it like this for a while, maybe I'll tire of it and just do as i said and powder coat it. Might look better all white with black letters. Not that I drive around with my hood up a lot. Ha.
