in case you haven't noticed, we don't use those words here, at least not spelled out. Pls edit your post. - Bill
cool Thanks! :TU: Nice looking paint job. I'm very interested in how the manifold paint holds up, looks sweet now! Did you put the red paint on the valve covers while the POR was still tacky, or sand it down(rough it up)? - Bill
LET THE PAINT TACK ABOUT 3 HOURS THEN TOPCOAT WITH ENGINE ENAMEL. THE CAST MANIFOLD PAINT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT YOU APPLY THE FIRST COAT WAIT 24 HOURS THEN APPLY SECOND COAT. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THE MANIFOLD PAINT THE REAL TEST IS AFTER YOU BAKE THEM ON THE BLOCK. I WILL POST THOSE RESULTS IN THE FUTURE. DAVE
