It didn't come out 100% as I had hoped, but this was the first time I had EVER done anything like this. It was a learning experience and I'm glad that I did it =) Next time, I won't use the same paint, tho @_@ It's already flaking a little bit. I'll buy the stuff that ACTUALLY says Engine Enamel. I think this stuff was meant more for little projects (I say this because the distributer cover came out very nice)
Enjoy!

Derek doesn't have $$ for powdercoating =) This was just a fun side project. I'm going to take all of the paint off of it later on and use another brand of paint. (Planning on sandblasting or glass beading)
