[alfa] Red Head



Merely running it up the flagpole before shipping it off to an eBay
auction. Just finished painting a '79 Spider cam cover in wrinkle red
(of the slightly bluish - as opposed to the orangeish -  type).

The Alfa Romeo script has been gently removed of the red with a small
Scotch-Brite disc.

I mention '79 since it had four holes drilled in the cam cover for those
horrible plastic clips - which have been carefully filled via epoxy.
Also, the '79 has a small, drilled bump on the rear support bracket...if
that matters.

The cam cover was first sand blasted, then thoroughly cleaned. It did
take two sets of paint (the first being chemically removed) in order to
get a "pretty" even finish. The paint is not quite as forgiving as
Eastwood's black wrinkle paint, so there are some variations in the
degree of wrinkle.

Photos will be available before the auction if there is sufficient
interest. Also you may make a pre offer.
