Somethin like that? Here are the steps I did...

1) Powerwashed the sh*t out of it and got it SUPER clean.
2) Scuffed it it down with a light scuff pad... kind of like a brillo pad. They are actually from Mirka, the ones I used.
3) I used Total Prep, spray it, power wash it.
4) Total Prep again, spray it, power wash it.
5) Spray it with 1200" semi gloss paint from autozone. I did like 5-6 coats on it... light and build bigger as you go.

That looks GOOD. i already wire wheeled the intake to ill spray it and throw some of the header paint on and post some pics when its all done, well when the motor is all done which it will be when my parts finally come in hahaha.

oh and does anyone has M/T valvle covers on their motors???
