Message	I had sanded my NA's valve covers and was relatively happy with them as they were. I was going to do the same to my JDM TT, but then thought about possibly using a silver/gray hi-temp spray paint, with primer and clear coat of course. Does anyone know how well that turns out in a silver color? I've seen pictures of powder-coated, and they always look great, but hi-temp spray paint is definitely not the same. I was just curious if anyone had sample pics or experience?
