I'm not sure if you sprayed incredibly thin on the front of the cover or if it's just the lighting, but the picture makes it look kind of odd. Also, the spark plug hole tops are flaking all over the place.

Try harder.

i think it looks pretty good i like the color

it just looks like you missed a bit on the front of the valve cover like it could use another coat
