Thanks Toxic......my motor and currently out of the truck at the moment...broke a few piston ring lands!!!! Can't wait to get it back on the road.
...and yes, I have catalyzed clear coat over the top of some regular basecoat and rattle can colors.....seems to hold up pretty well. Only issue is that clears will yellow in really hot areas. I had cleared my oil pan and it yellowed where is was closest to the headers. I've also seen it yellow on intake manifolds.
The AC cover came with my Vintage Air kit.....I just painted it to match.
Your motor looks great with both valve covers, but the cast covers give it a more serious look.....choices choices!!!!

That would give me one unified cast color, which seems to be what you have done. I have used VHT new cast with a true automotive 2 part clear, how is yours done?
Quick side note: Did you custom fab the firewall ac cover or is that something that can be bought off the shelf somewhere. I like the smooter look.
