      You're the second person to catch that. Matter of fact, i was about 30 miles into a trip from home when I snapped the pic. Oil was up to temperature, but M42's disipate heat very well, which leaves the water temperature cool. Plus they have a low-temp thermostat.

      1000 revs away from redline. :up:

        No pictures right now, but I did mine awhile ago. They look the same as before (being white) at night time with lights on. Visually I think it looks cool, but did anyone have trouble with paint drying too fast and not getting smooth? I did mine with porsche guards red (paint i had lying around) and a fine model paintbrush. I think I will probably have to do mine again because one or two are perfectly smooth. I was also having a hard time keeping paint off of the round black holders. How did everyone else fair with that?

          Yeah i feel you on the bumpy paint and thats why im going to redo mine in flat instead of gloss. Also about the paint getting on the back part. You get a nice fine flat tip brush and dip it in thinner and rub it along the black part up to the edge of the red. Works perfectly.
