Looks great, I've considered doing this but i can't find red crinkle paint anywhere in W.A.

I should be easier to maintain that a polished cam cover, what do you SE guys think?

Yeah autobarn isn't in WA, i don't think you can post pressure pack cans?

I've got a mate working at National Parts now (they supply auto pro etc) he should be able to order some in.
