Thanks! Every valve cover I've done since I can remember has been wrinkle black. I've never found it any harder to clean than other powder. It's not like ceiling knock-down, this stuff is smooth so you can still run a rag over it easily.
Yeah, luckily my engine bay is pretty nice. It's the cars original color still, with no rust. Even the battery tray is solid. Brass radiator could be cool.
Oics in the morning of a refinished radiator.
