    Thinking about painting my valve covers since I have them off. What would be a good paint that will look glossy and last. I want a powder coat gloss without powder coat lol. Gotta have it finished tomorrow so can't wait on powder as awesome as that would be. Also do I need to use a high temp paint? I would think the aluminum covers would dissipate heat well so there would be no need.

    You could probably use the 5mm since there is no pressure on them so no risk of stripping. Or use pliers or adjustable wrench

    Don't think it was instagram.
    If it was instagram, it would look like someone peed on the picture.

    Also wired up my tag lights and made the tag on tailgate install a little "neater" and not so redneck by adding spacers between the tag and tailgate as to keep it from rubbing the paint off and rusting the gate. Turned out pretty good for 20 mins work

    Getting some tires tomorrow. Firestone ATs. Lackluster but I think they are going to be exactly what I need at an awesome price.
