i thought it matched my theme kinda with my bergen panel and 30th ann car.

o and ignore the orange flakes, its from taking tape off. i blew it off later that day.

Depending on the brand, a lot of high temp paints need heated up after painting to finalize the paint within 24 hours of applying. I learned that the hard way
