Default Just painted my other valve cover

I had a normal valve cover just laying around for a while and decided to try something new. I didnt know how I was going to do it but i wanted to try it. So I painted the valve cover wrinkle red after tapeing off the letters. Then taped off the whole valve cover and free handed the beams and used an exacto to cut the lines. Then painted it wrinkle black. It turned out pretty good I think. A few places need to be sanded down and touched up. But over all im happy. I will be selling this one after I paint my type R like this.

Thanks for the comments. But like i said before. First time ive ever done this. And i know its been done before. And i thought it looked sweet. I touched it up a little but this was more of just practice for when i paint my ctr valve cover. And the lines are a bit crooked because i free handed the lines and used and exacto to cut the tape. not exactly the best way but its all i got. I will probably put it on my car tonight or tomorrow.

you can polish it. Its a bit more of a process. You would first need to strip it of all paint. And your best bet is to get it professionally polished. It would look the best.... of and i jacked no avatar. I found it and used it. I think you jacked it from me, so there
