I don't know. I'm almost tempted to do touch ups with the dark jewel green by spray gun over the rattle can high heat flat black.

Trophy!? Where!? lol No I was just referring to the pictures. Should I just attempt some touch ups where the rust is with the dark jewl green, chance it with the flat black, or leave it until I take the motor out in a year or two? My buddies DSM came out pretty good, but then again, his motor was out.

You know what.......the more I stare at it....... the more I'm like F that! Yeah, It's probably best I don't half *** it and wait. There is too much to move and not enough room to get it to look good.

1 year isn't gonna create the rust to expand too much, unless in salty conditions........so I'd just wait, you'll be happy you did.
