Did you not prep it before you coated it? It looks like there's debris under the powder?

the powder is a black Gloss with Lapis top

had alittle bit of orange peel but im fixing that

its only where the spark plugs go. there must have been alittle oil because i did sand blast it and took paint prep to it but it still did a weird bumpy thing in that corner

this was more of a practic cover

but it came out pretty good besides that one insde corner

This also happens with some brands of powder.

looks good

dont worry i know those things are difficult to spray and clever me goes and divides cover into 3 so i can spray a german flag on the thing!

Although only thing is i never sent mine in for powder coating. i did that myself at home with normal automotive paint, primer, thinners, clear and hardener!

Both are very nice.

I only going to paint the parkplug cover blue and silver.

And not the whole cover)
