with the shitty weather up here it was really about 5 days but in nice weather realistically a day maybe 2 if you're taking your time

i used rattle can 500* primer, 500* red, & 500* clear from auto zone

lol yeah it seems like it's a lot of red but it's because the valve covers are black so there's no contrast behind it...i'll figure somethin out to make it seem like less red...i was thinkin about painting the intake manifold like aluminum or silver...figured that would do it...or if i take the engine cover off...but i don't really wanna do that
