Default need help......valve cover ideas.

hey guys,

Im just looking for some ideas, some brainstorming ****.

Ive got my stock B16 valve cover and my CTR valve cover. I'm thinking of painting my black one. Im not sure what i wanna do. I was throwing hte ideas of having it painted with some nice art work, or just paint it one solid color. I have a guy that can do pretty good art (as in tattoo work, graffitti work etc).

when i close my eyes that one valve cover with the rising sun comes to mind. i dont want a white valve cover however, and its already been done. What do you guys think, any ideas? Pics? etc.

For those of you that repainted your valve cover, did you take a sanding block over the dohc vtec to get get them looking silverish again?
