Camo powdercoated valvecover

I had some time on my hands this weekend so I decided to tackle a project I was told couldnt be done ( the easiest way to prove you wrong ). Someone asked about powdercoating their valvecover in camo ,one valvecover powdercoating pro said it coulnt be done ,Caswell Inc.,one of my powder suppliers said it couldnt be done with my EASTWOOD HOT COAT equipment,as the voltage would not be enough .So I got them both to collaborate and send me some camo colors and I got to work.I started with a D16a6 cover and sanded all the lettering off to give me more smooth area to lay stencil on.After coating the whole cover in a base color of CASWELL COFFEE BROWN,I then applied a stencil and layed the first pattern in a CASWELL LIGHT CHOCOLATE,followed by EASTWOODS OLIVE DRABand finished up with MATTE LAVA BLACK.I must say that I can do better on the next one but I was impressed with the way this one came out for a first time.
Here is the final product ,this cover is available as I dont have anything with a D series.
