Once I was happy with the finish of the valve cover I prepped it, masked off the studs and top breather, rubbed back the nice billet oil filler cap I picked up cheap and taped over the seal channel and open face of the cover, it was time to try out the anodised lacquer. A couple of passes and it was looking o.k. for a first try - but on the last pass the spray can had a spasm and coughed one spot of lacquer in the most obvious place it could How it turned out - ...and dummied onto the head with an adjustable cam gear (the finish in this pic turned out 'smeary' due to it being freezing in the man cave when I took it ) -
