I've used that duplicolor paint before, but not on car parts. It's gotten kicked around nonstop for years though w/ no issues.

Yea I used the special primer that is supposed to be the silvery base coat for the actual paint. For some reason it just didnt stick to certain areas as well.

Anyone got a spare set of cam gears I can use? If you really want, i can give you the ones currently on my car, once i put the new ones on. (won't be till spring-ish)

Did you properly prep the surface or just spray it on there?

What do you think.... I cleaned the VC with paint thinner, scuffed the surface and cleaned it again. Its impossible to get into the grooves by the spark plug holes, etc. I should have bead blasted it but I didnt, and that is why the paint didnt stick in certain areas.

Didnt spend enough time on it but it turned out:
