Just like the Duracell, the Peep won't quit, gettin close to the copper top award at 558000+km. VHT Engine Enamel Metalic, now how to convince the wife it needs an hour in the oven at 200 for best cure? (she is at work tomorrow!) With the cover cleaned up by Easy Off oven cleaner couple weeks ago, finished the prep with flappers and brass wire wheels, cleaned wit brake cleaner solvent, blow dry, bombed 2 light and 1 medium coats 15 min apart. i'll let it sit a few hours before touchy feely. Time to walk the pup.

Burnt Copper Metalic, VHT Engine Enamel rated up to 650F, had very good success with their engine and header paints over the years.
