after...
Im gonna strip it later and redeux it now that i know how it works. After these pics I tried to rush dry it by driving around with it on. Do not do that. Ive got spots now down by the manifold heat sheild
The H and the VTEC were also polished down, then masked prior to painting (dont try to polish it after you painted it)

NOW GIVE ME THAT PAINT!!
i suggest before doing this to get another valve cover to work on. The paint on the bottom side is starting to blister. Im gonna strip it, prime it w/ etching primer and prime that w/ high temp BBQ grill paint. should keep it from getting hot from underneath
Here's my before and after....
