bout 2 days, 1 day for cleaning and prepping, then the next day painting and drying. very easy to do since the sc400 valve cover has no other type of coating. I took my time and I was busy with other projects but it can be done in a few hours.

I've owned an SC400 a long time ago and loved it, but with a family and my addiction with mother nature, I bought a 4runner and a sc400 and combine the both to this. I am 98% completed and was working on the wiring harness. Took a break from the harness just to spray the valve cover and manifold.
