Touch it & it seems to mark, even with water!
Dupli-color Semi-gloss over POR-15 base

Not very well. When the new engine goes in I will use a true automotive paint.

I bet you rest easy with that threesome protecting it!
Nice job.

I think everything looks great. Job well prepared, well executed!

About the Krylon enamel in a can...

It holds up extremely well to all sorts of detergents, and minerals.

It will not wipe off with Mineral spirits after it has had several day's to cure.

But thinner WILL take it off, battery acid WILL etch it, and hard water WILL stain it (unless you clear coat it)
Other than that, it's pretty durable stuff!

Nice job.

Yes, but who is going to protect it from them?

Thanks!

Thanks FE.

I'm impressed! great job.

wow im doing that to my torino as soon as i get home lol thats amazing looking

Looks awesome! How do the wire looms connect to the valve covers? I LOVE how they look, but how do they work??

They thread throught the rocker covers and into the head. It's a pretty slick design.
