This duplicolor stuff seems to be turning out pretty good!!
I was thinking of getting my VC PC'd candy purple, which is pretty much a chrome base with purple up top. But you guys seem to be getting great results with Duplicolor.

Naw nothing. You can replace your valve cover gasket if you'd like though. THey tend to get old, crack, and leak.
Everytime I see the valve cover of a non-Honda enthusiast, its always leaking like crazy haah.

Also, the duplicolor metalcast yellow can be used on the fog lights, ive seen lots of forums with people doing it, its better that buying $100 + jdm yellow fogs.... im getting some of that paint in the mail soon

the paint is basically translucent or transparent so u can use it for metal or fog lights..
well i have herd some people say they didnt use primer on lights and u shouldnt sand it of course ... and for primer coat if u wanna use primer, duplicolor also sells a clear primer so u dont have to mess up the surface u want to color with scratches
heres a video with both clear primer and duplicast metalcast:

did my girls rims with the purple. tried it w/the ground coat and w/o. turned out WAY better WITH.
My innovative billet mounts blue w/ground coat.
I also sprayed a lil of the blue over my flat black track r's to give it the mag blue look.
