Default Weekend Project!
Well finally decided to change my leaky Valve Cover gaskets after a few months. Since I had too much time on my hand decided to visit my local autoparts store for some engine paint! Looks pretty good...need to clean the rest up.

VHT Metallic Gold, Primer, & Gloss Clear





Before! (Deconstruction) NASTY!!!





Primer stage!





GOOOOOOLLLLLLLLDDDDDDD! New gasket, spark plug grommet, and PCV





Final Look! now on to cleaning the rest of the engine bay on another day.

Looks great! Not my taste but as long as you like it, big whoop. Just make a note to finish the engine bay with some more gold...
