Thanks!!

I just did 1 coat with the wrinkle paint and put it in the over since I over sprayed with primer I want to make sure the paint dries accordingly. So I sprayed it with the paint, let it dry for about 30 minutes and put it in the oven for 10 minutes and will spray an additional 2 coats and put it back in the over. Nothing like cooked valve cover in the afternoon

The Mishimoto is a nice rad - just make sure you tighten up those plastic fittings and get a nice amount of thread tape on there.

I was going to say the same thing. The stock one has the indent rings and looks like it would seal a lot better than the one pictured that's straight flat.

I have both so i'll see which works best. I still think the Fel-pro will seal better as I have the stock one on right now but i'll see.

All painted, a little over spray but you should have seen it before I went back and fixed it.

I had over spray so I took an exacto knife and cut out the sections that had over spray and re-painted those sections.'

This is the final product after 3 coats.
