Coming from you, with great Zs, that's a hell of a compliment.
What started as refurbishing of tired parts after 100,000 plus miles went out of control and I love it!

Engine reassembly was postponed due to unforeseen damage to cam chain idler assembly.
Spent this afternoon painting letters on the cam covers.
Last time I did this was 5 years ago and at that time I painted letters while the cam cover was on the car. This time, with the cam covers off the engine, should have been easier but not the case. Hand was not as steady and couldn't see as well as I use to...

Having tried free hand I decided to use masking tape and spray for the plenum. Rather spend time cutting the letters with Exacto knife then go through the stress of keeping my hand steady.

Thanks Lee! I am very happy with my choice of color and satin finish.

Somehow picture looks bluish but in realty it's satin silver finish.

I just called to see how much fun you were having.
As for the cam cover, IH and plenum, I opted for powder coating as opposed to paint. I am of belief that higher level of finish can be had with paint but powder coating are more durable - just my opinion. With my insistence in driving my Z all the time (as long as it's not raining) durability of finish was my priority.
See you soon!
