Time to start the build up

Well got the key parts primed up today. Using summit brand epoxy primer and catalyst, 1:1 ratio. Seemed to lay down pretty good considering I'm absolutely not an auto paint professional. I'm gonna be using the battleship gray for finishing, so it'll actually look similar to how it does now.

Before (I have the same polished fabbed valve covers everyone else has. So I decided to paint them. Same for the intake, water pump housing, and timing cover):

It's a bit orange peely but not terrible for engine parts.
