Freshly painted valve cover
Freshly painted valve cover
Paint prep.

Final result:

2 coats engine primer
2 coats metallic silver
3 coats candy grape
2 coats clear
1 stuck mosquito
It would have looked much better if I used a darker blue metallic color for the base and then the transparent "grape". I was aiming for purple and this is what i got. It still pops really nicely just doesn't quite match my car.

so you were aiming to get a grape color from that paint and it came out red?
