Default DIY rattle can engine powder coat

got bored today and decided to finish up the powder coat job i started a few months ago.

heres my valve cover i did a few months ago


and heres what i got done today, its still cooling and im gonna hit it up with some super fine grain sand paper to smooth out the transition from blue to silver before i install it.


i'll update with pics after sanding and installation soon.

1200 degree ceramic paint, wont burn off at all. and for 8 bucks a can and 2 bucks in masking tape its not bad for a cheap custom look... better than rusty metal any way you slice it.
