Message	I originally bought that color (I believe that's ford blue?) and painted my valve covers and other parts that color because that was the only color in blue I saw at the store I was at. Then a few days later, I saw anodized blue (which I thought looked 1000x better) so I had to re scrub that ford blue off then repaint everything anodized blue. Below are the results and difference. Sprayed it with aircraft remover After lots of scrubbing... Primed it with anodized sliver Then the anodized blue goes on... The final and how it turned out... This shows you the difference in the two blue colors.
