Lazy man's painting engine parts
I'm in the process of changing the fuel rail on my car and I decided to refresh a few engine parts. However, I did not want to remove the cam cover. So I fabricated this "lazy man" painting booth:
Here's a close-up of the cam cover:
I also painted the intake manifold and throttle body a nice "bling-bling" like shiny aluminium cover using "Krylon" gas barbecue and radiator paint:
Here's the partial result after removing all that newspaper out of the way:

When I had the Cam Gear cover off to do the belts I bead blasted the cover then clear coated it with some high heat manifold/engine paint. Looks pretty good, the bead blast removed twenty years of oxydation, I hope the paint holds up, I haven't tried any solvents on it yet...

yes, good, high temp paint looks a lot better then burnt oil and rust
I did a lot of painting to my engine bay area. Flat black goes a long way on looks for the bad spots.
Looks great, but mechanic hates it
