Wee** painted valve cover**PICTS
well i just did my valve cover i was gonna get a Type R one but i decided not to spend the money so this is what i did..
i think it came out great...this is the closes i'll ever get to a spoon look alike valve cover..:/ yeah i do know some of u wont like the color..but comments are welcome..thanks
**EDIT** i used engine high temp paint and i bake the valve cover in the oven to help seat the paint..very good idea since ive painted alot of valve covers b4 and this one seems the best. the paint is now hard.kinda like powder coated ones.tooked me 3 days to do..

it looks great. it could have looked more spoonish if you used flat paint.
but hey it's original and don't let the dumb people here change y0ur mind on it.

Looks good, paint the lettering. I dunno but seems to clash with the car, but then again it in a weird way fits.
