So I had a dream and it involved those RPS "rock star" paintballs. I thought those looked cool and Id try to do my valve cover in a similiar fashion because it sucked before. So a buddy of mine and I tackled the task, and heres a quick timeline of it.



Me beginning the work in the freezing temps of Buffalo


The before shot


Removing it


Off


Shaved and sanded


The funky spark plug cover


The funky spark plug cover fixed


Primed for smoothness check


Base coat, didnt dry right. Redid it


Brought inside for taping up, friend helping


Started


I painted the spark plug cover first, to see how it would look. And continued on


All stars done. TOTALLED 192 stars


First top coat


2nd top coat on and dried. I begin the painstaking task to peel away all stickers


Done for today

I plan to sand the Honda Motor Co. and bring that back. I was going to put the cover back on the car, but Im too tired and will do it tomorrow.

Comments, flames, lets hear it

 

nice job man. im loving it.

 

you could have put vaseline on the letters "honda motor company" and then just wiped the paint off after it was dry..

and i think you should have reversed the colors on the spark plug cover...gave it some contrast

 

Did you use any aircraft stripper? Looks a little rough along the edges and sides, but not so bad overall.

Idea

 

Good job but the stars look to uniformed. I would have used different sized stars placed randomly but dope stuff anyways

 

different

 

thats some hot ****.

 

 

and the crowds stares at it, and says " OOOOOOOOOOO" nice

 

i love it, but i would have done the spark plug wire cover the inverse color scheme

 

Looks good, let's see it on the motor

 

props on the work that it must have taken

 

love it!

 

sexyyy. and im digging johns avatar. go chargerss.

 

holy crappers, you can really see the amount of effort that went into that... those stars are soo straight and lined up.. congrats on a beautiful valve cover.

 

looks good...nice work

 

lovin it. more creativeness is coming into the valve covers.

 

I give that cover two snaps up

 

Really nice! I like it!!

 

You get 2 for being original. You may have just started a trend.

 

Sup bro... I like the thread.. Tell me how you took the letters off. And how long did it take?

 

looking good

 

looks good.

 

Good job! Looks good but I personally wouldn't have placed the stars in an organized pattern...IMO it would have looked cooler if they were placed at random but you get a from me!!!

 

Nice job.. I bet that took some time.
