I used my two hands and sand paper, trust me a pain i mean a pain in the back.
I went to home depot to buy a sand blaster, and they don't carry it .
I looked into getting a pressure wash, that **** is expense like a ****.
So came back and did it the hard way.

Not to sound like a dick...But what did you do? They look almost identical. Was that prep for painting, or something of the like?

Thats what my sister said, when looking at the final pciture. The reason is because it was getting dark, and the camra didn't grab a better pciture, but if you look at it in person you can easily tell the difference. I bought the car from the Acura dealorship, and to my believe who ever had the car before me had painted the valve cover, so the dealership just threw something on it to give it a neutral look, and it looked like ****. look at the second picture, it looks nastier in person
