Painted Air Lid, Valve Covers, Coil and Wire relo Got some new pics of freshly painted lid, valve covers, home made coil relocation, ASR Relo and wire mod. Tell me what you think. I know the blue wire covers are going this weekend for black replacements, and I know my brake fluid is burnt replacing that this weekend too.

I first sanded with 400 then 1000, wiped down with thinner really good and let dry. Then I used plastic promoter just follow the directions, then high build primer in an attemp to smooth the texturing on the lid but didn't work as well as I wanted. After that about 4 extremely light coats and one heavier coat of paint, then 3 coats of acylic clear. Make sure you take your time if your using a rattle can just use really light coats to avoid runs and sags and when I say light I mean really light
