I also sent my Plug cover to another painting Genius, Nick Jackson. And he kindly sent me this pic today of the finished product. Again the aim for the engine is a Classy better than standard finish, with a nice rich metallic silver rocker cover (which ade is painting) and a Red Plug cover.

Well folks, I was going to hold out until I got some exterior shots of the car, but since its going to be at lease a week until I get those, I thought now's the time to finally show the colour.

The key to finding this colour, was to source a Nice Subtle, Rich and Classy colour. I think I found everything with this, and altho there are other Blue Novas around, I think this should still stand out.
