    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Well i got hired to paint some chevy engine parts...but i've never tried to paint those before....so i thought i should practice first

    heres how it turned out on my power steering pump

    i messed up a couple of time by getting too close, and when i reached for the paint can i got the wrong color:slap:, also i didnt do a great job sanding the pump because i was too lazy to take it apart...but this is no show car.

    heres a before pic

    cleaned using brake fluid(all i had)

    i really like the black enamel i bought...its just the right tone not to glossy but not to flat...sure beats the cheap .99cent spray paint
