I had a little too much free time on my hands today and the weather was beautiful so I decided to paint my valve cover. IMO it looks pretty shitty but I dont really care maybe I will redo it. Comments Welcome.

Does anybody have any tips for me? How do people tape off elaborate designs such as the rising sun (I dont want to do it) but I am just wondering about the procedure.

dont go "elaborate" just go clean. like if you decide to go, i dunno, green? get a can of primer, paint stripper, primer, the actual paint you want and a can of gloss. and if you wanna go fancy, sand off the letters and make them bare metal or somthing.
