Thanks for the props!!!
I just stripped the valve cover yesterday. It had about 3 layers of paint on it. Most recent was wrinkle red out of a spray can and was flaking. So the owner wants the real deal this time. So back with wrinkle red..
The intake piping hadn't been touched. Still polished/chrome plated. The same owner just wants it a red color. Might try to get the "candy red" to stick to the piping how it is. After cleaning of course. But then it should have the anodized effect.
