Default The 5 minute Valve Cover

So i just put tarps on the rest of my engine bay and sprayed away with high heat black paint...2 coats and this is what I got...the thing was chipped to hell since I got the swap, so this is 10x better then it was....

Hmmm,

5 min to paint
15 min to take pics, upload to server, post on HT and show off halfass work.

Yeah it looks good now, but it'll look like crap again soon... ever heard of paint adhesion?

... thanks for sharing
