I got bored and had extra paint. I may sand the Edelbrock letters down to the chrome once it’s fully cured I’m not sure yet not trying to waste too much time on it and don’t really care how it comes out not much of a detail or looks guy more function than anything which is why most likely all the work I show on the forum will probably look like it’s done by a 5 year old with a dull knife and short attention span

How do you give a brushed look? I have two cans of spray on clear but both say not for over 200 degrees so I think that’s out but these were originally chrome so if I sand it without sanding off the chrome I think it will work without clear maybe

I definitely need to invest in one of those dang 4 leg coverings so I can still work in the rain. My garage makes me feel claustrophobic once a car is in it dammit florida

Yea I’m a weird Florida resident I hate the weather,beach,water,people,jobs,insects, and humidity. I haven’t been very many other places in my life so I don’t have too much to compare it to but I run a little too hot for Florida I think I visited New Jersey on Christmas and though I was disappointed because I didn’t experience snow in my short time there I was in love with the cold I was hanging out in a T-shirt and jeans and it was a beautiful not humid 29 degrees.
