I am building a new motor so i wanted my valve cover to be different than any other valve cover around my home town. So i cam up with this tell me what you think This is also my first time doing something like this took be like 2 days i took my time so i would jack it up

 

nice job

put some clear coat for glassy look

 

why not just paint it red w/ wrinkle paint? don't really understand that color scheme

 

well i didnt want it to be plain, and my car is gonna be black with red honda badges so i wanted this to kinda match

 

I like it, good job man

 

ya for sures, when i saw 1st pic i was like omg, then i scrolled down and was like damn very nice , gj man

 

lol thx, nice i just have to impress my dad and everything will be good

 

not feeling the colors but whatever floats you

 

I don't get it, you said that you wanted it to be different. Having a red valve cover isn't really different, alot of poeple have red valve covers...But it looks cool I guess, I would have gone with the wrinkle paint...But that's just me! IMO..

 

i think its nice!

 

LOL! I thought the black part was just a shadow...until I looked closer.

Looks pretty clean and unique. Mine was painted for a while, but it chipped off, so I got it powdercoated instead.

...but its a red-black fade. thats the first valve cover that i've seen w/ a fade paint job, its deff unique. the fade looks pretty good, nice plans w/ the color scheme too

I thank you for being observant b/c jdm_bones didnt get it

 

Looks good, but the lettering would have turned out better if you would have just painted over it and then sanded it off. Other than that looks good.

Yes yes, I'm back from vacation and feeling happy, so, basicly to do this you just paint the whole valve cover one solid color, pink for the above example, then on the corner of the cover, brush back and forth till you get a nice color fade effect on the edge, don't go too far over the valve cover or you won't have much background color left showing.

The new color scheme I'm using:

It came out looking pretty nice!! I would put some clear coat on it though.
