Well i decided to give the cam cover a paint, so i got myself some black crinkle paint and went to work...heres a pic of the finised result. I just sanded the paint off where the letters are.

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.
