Marc how do you do these multi colored and fade jobs in wrinkle coat? Do you paint over black wrinkle coat? I tried that before and it didn't work well for me. What's the process?
Here's my latest, It was an accident to begin with but now I like it so I'm leavin it. Still gonna clear it before I run it.

for the guru's who have done this before, is there a safe way to add stickers? i just dont want them getting too hot and peeling off.
would that take a special kind of vinyl? can you just clear coat over the sticker to protect it? thanks guys.

Re: Official: Post Your Valve Cover (56k warning)
so i have an 02 civic ex and my plug covers are going to be way too big to enjoy the custom valve cover, im thinking about going with a typical dohc cover just to try out the design. whats a good price for one used?

I've been thinking about putting the 3m Di-noc dry carbon on my Valve Cover. If I try it I will let you guys know how it went long term with pics.

theres a guy here in the UK with a B20vtec and has red/black carbon effect vinyl wrap on his. i think it was primered before application, but looks wicked. id imagine it needs to be heat shrinked on
