Thought I would share my work from yesterday while waiting on the rain to stop so I can wash my car. It was originally powdercoated "chrome" but it looked like crap and was fading to a dull gray. I was replacing a few clamps so I just decided to pull it all out and paint it.

Looks great, I was going to do the same thing when I pulled my motor out, Paint the Valve Covers AB. Guess im going to have to do somthing else now. And buy new wheels. Damn, you took all my ideas. But hey, I have your cars twin.

I like it but it looks kind of dull. not trying to be an asshole, but did you use a clearcoat? I think that could look really good with a shiny finish.

Thanks guys

No I didn't use any clearcoat, just semi gloss black. I didn't want anything really shiny to kind of stay with the theme of the flat black stripes and rear spoiler.
