Default Decided to Paint my valve cover yesterday-

my valve cover came in the mail and it looked like it was in a gsr that was in baghdad with no hood to cover it. paint was chipping everywhere and some of the gashes were way to deep to sanded, so i sanded stripped and painted the beotch. here she is=















and just incase u were wondering- all drips and splotches were intentional.. base coat of the aluminum silver was sprayed on, then splotches applied with q tips and brushes of different sizes. red was scuffed alittle on corners to give a little vintage status, and to detract from the bling of the gloss paint. post awayyyyy

You're trying too hard. I don't like it, but hey that's just my opinion.

The JDM pose in the corner is cool, but I don't like the black around the letters and the H. It looks like spilled oil or something. Other than that good job.
