Default shaved my valve cover

so my friend sent me a picture of his new valve cover.. shaved the DOHC VTEC emblem and i figured i'd try it out for the first time.. and i thought mine was the perfect canidate because i liked the Honda Motor Co. on the bottom of mine.. so this is my first time doing this, grabbed a palm sander, 80 grit sand paper and 180 grit sand paper, and some oem BLACK wrinkle paint and here's how it turned out.. i did this at night so when i put my light next to my valve cover while it was wet a few bugs decided to take intrest in it as well. keep in mind, this is my frist time.. and i plan on doing a few more

You have no idea how hard it is for me to resist making a shaved vagina comment right now. Nice job though, it'll look better with the plug cover back on. It'd look sick with 'Honda' centered at the bottom.
