looks nice keith,i'm pretty much leanin towards black myself.i got some shiny stuff for it.a nice pair of billet valve covers.but i'm actually looking for the "right "set of stamped steel valve covers to paint or have powdercoated flat black and them have them pinstriped.hope it will look as nice as i visualize it.did you use a primer under the por engine paint or just degrease and paint.mine has been hot tanked and sprayed with new cast to keep from rusting.thought maybe just wiping down with marine clean and painting..............dave
