Thank you for the compliments gentlemen.
The pictures dont show it, however, the paint is a gloss engine enamel.
This is the second time I painted them white. The first time I used a standard gloss white paint which chiped with a slight touch. The engine enamel has held up well.
The idea of polishing the raised areas is a good one. I considered it and decided since 2/3 of the covers are hidden, I didn't wish to spend the time.
I admit, it is not a daily driver, but yes, I do drive it. It's garaged and covered, never driven in the winter, and I am very anal about keeping it detailed.
