I like it! I bet that hot rod red adds about 5 hp, just from the looks of it

LOL thanks. I had to do something, the raw aluminum just looked bad as you can see in the photos. It was either the wrinkle red or a metallic gloss silver. I think the red will go good with the supercharger.

It's done. Turned out better than I expected. The red goes great with the supercharger and you see just enough for it to be an accent and not over whelming.

I'd give this job a 3 outta 10 for difficulty. Pretty easy really. I had to split it up over a few days since that wrinkle red paint takes so long to "cure". Like 48 hours minimum, but that gave me time to slow down and really take my team cleaning everything up so it worked out.

Full details in my build thread for those that wanna follow a long.

I'm gonna have to detail the engine compartment to confirm I don't have any other oil leaks. Hard to tell form all the gook from the valve cover leaks.
