Right now it just has a bronze base coat. No clear on it yet. I'm gonna go grab some clear from Wal-Mart and spray one more layer of paint and then three coats or clear or so. Then do either the checkerboard or splatter. Can't decide.

Decided on what I'm going to do. Keep the bronze base coat. And do red/white/blue spatters. Support your troops kids

Mine is finally done. With my other valve cover, I'm going to shave off the Honda "H" and the 16valve like the valve cover above me. Looks clean and I really like it!!!

Here it is!

Around $40-$60 from a reputable shop. It may sound easier to just rattle can it for $20 but the finish that a powder coat job leaves is gorgeous and IMHO, well worth the $50. The paint wont chip or flake due to heat from the engine and it will last for years. Plus its near perfect unlike paint.



Ayo Eran post up your VC!! That ish looks BOSS.
