        It's actually red. The flash just screws up the colors.

                        Ok. here is a Daylight pic....






                        Kickass job on the ford blue valve cover. I thought about not doing the ridges and then thought, why the hell not! LOL!! I used Duplicolor 500 ceramic paint. Duplicolor is kick ass paint. Especially for engine parts and brake calipers!

                            What did you use to take the paint off the ridges and lettering? Did you sand them down?
