eh.

looks to me as if you used a thick sand paper or something.. or possibly just sanded too much. you can definatly see that it's been sanded.

yes i used a thick paper cuase it was really messed up from the first, and then i used a finer one, its not perfect as i said but i like it, i may aircraft remove it and start from scratch but for now.

Re: Painted my valve cover today. (92 Hatchie)

ground is wrong too.

I would have left the honda unpainted too.

I believe you can still save it and scratch the paint off with a razor blade and such.

Re: Painted my valve cover today. (92 Hatchie)

you do need to find a pink wrinkle paint, you can use the black wrinkle paint and then paint pink over it

doesn't look bad, I've done one colored wrinkle paint and like 10 black wrinkles, Ive also done some without, I just love the way it looks, there might be a thing as too smooth....good job!!

and you can clear coat wrinkle paint, havent done it, but im interested to see how it would turn out....anyone wanna let me do their vc for free?
