Did you have any problems getting your map sensor out? I tried taking mine out when I painted my manifold but it wouldn't budge.

Not at all. I just removed the screw and disconnected the wire connection. I simply twisted it off.

This is more than one day, but I've washed(body, underneath, engine compartment(light quick rinse), clayed, and am now 3/3rds of the way though waxing.

Washed the engine bay and saw this.

I have an excuse to paint my valve cover!!!

I'll have to buy a new gasket as well as sand paper paint stripper, wax and grease remover, and primer/paint/clear. I'm not sure what color I should paint it.

It's oxidation and I'm not sure how or why it happened. It peeled when I used an air compressor to spray the engine.

Fiji blue or pearl white are my vote :P

I'm thinking about using VHT high temp primer, VHT "New Ford Blue" Paint, and VHT Clear. I'd paint the fuel rail the same color.

I would get Fiji Blue, but it will cost me around $30 just for a custom Fiji Blue Pearl 12oz aerosol paint can. I don't think it will be worth it.

Most places that sell paint can put it in a can for you

It's $20 for the can, but shipping will be around $10.

Ill have to google that paint, I haven't seen it yet.
A lot of body shops give out free touch up paint, just go to a dozen shops and you could get enough paint that way haha
